A hapless factory worker struggles against relentless machinery, unstable jobs, and the pressures of a rapidly changing industrial world. After crossing paths with a hungry young woman, he joins her in trying to find security, dignity, and a home despite repeated setbacks.

My take

You’ll like this warm, thoughtful comedy if you enjoy physical humor, social commentary, and tender underdog stories like City Lights; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, modern dialogue, or subtle comedy.
