The migrant people search for pleasures as they search for food and work, a necessity for survival during the hard times. They tell stories to one another, some made-up, some from the movie pictures. Those with a little money get drunk to deaden the pain of their situation. Others play music: Harmonica, guitar and fiddle; bands are formed and dances held. Young people dance to release their energy and older members of the community clap and tap their toes. At the end of the evening, the young dancers pair off and go out into the darkness.
