Synopsis

Economic transition is generally a difficult process for ex-socialist countries on their way to liberal capitalism. The citizens of such countries face job cuts, painful dealings with the realities of market economy, and getting used to a new lifestyle.
The employees of the Eelarevo Brewery are anomalies; they got rich in the transition process, having sold their stock to the international company Carlsberg for a total of 53 million euros. Overnight, their lives changed dramatically.
