Man blows the candles, they applaud. Close up shot of the birthday man's face. He is 65 and does not have to work more - voiceover says. Follows succession of shots from steel factory - presumably the man worked there. 'Internal monologue' suggests that country still needs skilled workers and urges the man not to retire. Voice off screen says - let's drink for happy retirement. The man rises from chair and reacts - he will not retire. End title reads "Older workers are still wanted in their jobs".
