The mission: Your story in Stockholm
Every day is a struggle to find an occupation and earn your days wages. Today you have woken up in the gutter after a hard night out in the Old Town with no money in your pocket, starving for a meal.
You roam Södermalm on the hunt for a job, usually backbreaking manual labour. Will you be able to earn today's wages and afford to survive another day?
