Struggle is a film about the struggle for existence, to earn a living, to subsist, to survive. Struggle takes place in the realm of work: on strawbery fields, in factories, in offices, in cars, on the street. The protagonists are: a woman, a strawberry picker from eastern Europe who comes to Austria to build a better existence for her and her child- and a man, a Viennese real estate agent. Briefly there is hope for meaning in life.
