Famous for its cycling culture, Amsterdam's number of rickshaws has increased over the past two years. They are mainly driven by young people from Eastern Europe. Some 40-50 Hungarian rickshaw drivers hunt for passengers daily, but many also come from Romania, Poland or Bulgaria. What is the lifestyle of this spontaneously developing subculture? This is a documentary on immigration, money and freedom.
