The event is entitled Labour Ennobles and this is their blurb . . .
" Let us shake up your drag of everyday life by showing you other people's humdrum routines at work. We guarantee this to be a refreshing experience for anyone. The third and final Amsterdam Shorts! teaser night presents five carefully selected films that show you that any kind of labour, ranging from the oldest job on earth to the newest quirks of globalisation, ennobles us human beings."
