During the Great Depression of 1930s, a vast number of people were suddenly willing to do anything for money. This bleak drama is based around one of the stranger things that sprung up to allow people to cash in - gruelling marathon dance contests that lasted for weeks and weeks. This grimly funny film takes you around the characters who have ended up taking part in one of these insane events, and what brought them to this point.
