Director's notes
The textile sector is a source of employment and exploitation mostly for the female working class population, mothers who on hand manage their households and on the other got to work excessive hours. The textile production is housed on the outskirts and in large warehouses in the center of the city, closing reality outside their walls, while life escapes like a melody in the movements of a mechanized humanity.
