Synopsis In Vietnam, in one of the world’s largest electronics industrial plants, women make up 80% of the workforce; they have agreed to work 12-hour shifts, day and night. Each protagonist is different. However, they are all connected by the exploitation they are subjected to every day, unable to fulfil their dreams in the painful struggle for their ambitions.
