Synopsis
The video is a one-shot street interview with a man crouched over the gutter with a bread knife, looking for coins. The interviewer asks if there’s a name for such a profession, to which the man replies: ‘Draining’. The man explains that he works as a Drainer as a result of his poor health condition which causes frequent black-outs.
