The story

What Is A Difficult Year About?

The premise of A Difficult Year without spoilers.

Compulsive spenders Albert and Bruno are drowning in debt and turn to community workers for assistance. Their search leads them to a group of youthful green activists. Lured more by free beer and snacks than by environmental ideals, they reluctantly join the movement, embarking on a half‑hearted foray into activism while still trying to get their finances back on track.
