I Really Hate My Job

Synopsis

I Really Hate My Job follows the lives of five women working together in a busy Soho restaurant who have little in common apart from their jobs. During the course of one evening, the women discuss every detail of their lives, from fear of getting old to dreaming of doing anything other than working in a second rate restaurant with delusions of grandeur. The customers come and go, unaware of the real concerns of the women: the restaurant's growing rat infestation, arguments about the nature of art, a communist rebellion in the kitchen - and the frenzied anticipation of the arrival of a famous Hollywood movie star.
