Uwe and René, two of thousands of workers, who decided to go for more work and less family life. They are only home on the weekends. It's then they can be loving fathers, husbands and friends to rely on. At home they are confronted with big exceptions and duties they never come round to meet. A commuter's life - full of remorse and lonelieness. The story of breadwinners who are never home, at least five of seven days.
