The relationship between JOSE, the Taxi Thief and MAR TRAFUL, social activist, linked to certain groups that criticize the System, helps develop the two opposed points of view that the movie illustrates. Jose who only wants a decent job and believes he is responsible for his unemployment because of his lack of aptitudes. Mar and his group, think that unemployment is an instrument of capitalism that forces the worker to accept more precarious conditions, compelled by the fear of unemployment.

The right to work confronted by the right to decent life, is presented in parallel to the awakening of Jose´s political conscience, the Taxi Thief, who´s desire to work takes him to this desperate situation.
Jose´s reality breaks the limits of the theories that are narrated. Precariousness is not limited to the area of labor, but viewed in life, revealing a search for real wealth, not material, but in relation to other human beings.
Jose´s venture into the social movements transforms his life into an unexpected adventure from which to learn.
