Synopsis

Buzzing neon tubes light up the pitch black corridor of an abandoned tobacco factory. A walk through the endless uncanny corridor is accompanied by workers that seem to multiply. Tableau vivants of workers evoke questions about the working class today and the representation of female workers. The film transforms into a silent movie with a quote of the Film “La sortie des usines Lumière”.
