A Parked Life

Petar is one of the hundreds of thousands of Eastern European truck drivers who cross the European mainland for 48 weeks a year. Life on endless highways and creepy parking lots is monotonous and hard, but it's the only chance to give his son a better future. But the toll that Petar and the others have to pay is high. A PARKED LIFE offers a multicolored view of the European continent, from the simmering deserts of Spain to the frozen north of Norway. (docville.be)
