They are everywhere, shops, pubs, offices, but we never really notice them. Security guards. Sentinels of public order. Who are they? Cardboard cut-out muscle-men? Or real people? This short documentary about security guards Tunc and Fahim, briefly dips beyond the uniform to reveal their attitudes to both work and life, where they are from and where they are going.
