Ambientada en 1935, los obreros de un frigorífico fundan un sindicato y se rebelan contra el maltrato de su patrón.

"Pobres habrá siempre" is a rarity within Argentine cinema for many reasons. Its theme is the rebellion of a group of meatpacking workers around 1935 and the several reasons that justified it, but the film was shot at a time when workers and union struggles were very strange issues for local production.
