Short film with sparse dialogue tells about an illegal Polish seasonal worker. The boy works on the land of a sullen farmer, who bosses him around in bad English. Soon, he is allowed to work with the forklift truck in the barn. At night, moved, he listens to old telephone messages from his brother. It seems that previously the latter got the same 'promotion'. It turns out that the seasonal worker has a hidden agenda.

The imaginative Bo (9) lives as the only child in a street full of extroverted adults, who think she is quiet. Her parents try to include her in the group, but Bo prefers to fill pages of crafts about the neighbors in her homemade 'humancyclopedia'. When another kid named Rups comes to live in the street for the first time, Bo tries to prove herself by putting her humancyclopedia aside and starting a friendship with her. In this way, she wants to prove to her judgmental neighbors that she is more than just quiet. 'Rups' is a film about the silent power of the introvert and the magic of fantasy.
