TAKE ME TO THE MOON (15')
“One of the dozens of stories that the follow-up, for four years, of this Chinese factory inspired us”
In the Antex textile factory (Hangzhou, China) destinations intersect, hopes seem lost and only dream about a better future. Despite everything, the charismatic chief, Qian An Hua, seeks the utopia of a happy factory by promoting different activities such as human tower practice, parties and dances imported from all over the world.
The colony is preparing to celebrate NadaL. Li Xueqin, a young woman recently arrived from the provinces, and the veteran worker Wang, will show us, through their everyday life, the bittersweet symphony of this peculiar cosmos in which more than 2,000 employees coexist and work.
