Serbia is a harshly beautiful place. 'An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker' doesn't show the beauty.
A man lives in a poor village, keeping his family going with the little money he makes from chopping wood and collecting scrap iron. When his wife gets sick, he cannot afford to pay the hospital, so they won't operate. Eventually, they commit fraud, using a family member's insurance. He then sells his car, incidentally the same model as the only two cars I've ever had, as scrap to pay for her medicine and get electricity restored to his home.
There was no grand plot, just a quick lesson in the pain of being poor.
