Socialrealistisk film om en gruppe langturschauffører og deres vanskeligheder med at bevare et familieliv, når de er væk det meste af tiden. Tilmed bliver de ofre for et forsikringssvindelnummer, udtænkt af deres arbejdsgivere og den sydeuropæiske mafia.

This trucker road movie tells the story of four men driving 30-ton meat-carriers in shuttle service between Denmark and Italy. Against their will, the truckers get involved in criminal activities that flourish as a result of European custom service bureaucracy. Their bonding as friends and their strongly rooted family life help them through.
