Sometimes the parents leave the hot factory halls behind and head off: to the North Sea with the children. However, the working-class family's savings bank loan is not enough for more than a few days. In "The Workers", Martin Becker tells the story of a small-town family that no longer exists. Of parents and siblings who died too young and of the small miracle of being a father after the disappearance of the original family. It is a story about coming from humble beginnings
and a declaration of love to a dying milieu.
