A parcel courier living on the outskirts dreams of escaping his daily routine. Every day he has new ID photos taken and writes a fresh CV, yet he knows that his record will never land him a job in the city, however many applications he sends, and that he will stay a job seeker at the margins. His comfort is that once the new town being built nearby is finished, the place where he lives might at least look like part of the city.
