Migrant worker András Skarbit cooks himself a simple meal at the simple hostel where he stays during the week. He is one of thousands in Hungary who commute from their villages to work in Budapest. Skarbit retired in 1988 and died in 1999 at the age of 74. At that time, this way of life in Hungary had become a thing from the past.
