syopsis

After three years of hyper-recession and the collapse of the banking system, many Argentine companies are on the brink of ruin and have only managed to pay a fraction of the wages owed to its employees. When on the 18th of December 2003 social unrest erupted across the country, a group of about 40 seamstresses occupied their factory and demanded the expropriation of the owner Jacobo Brukman. However, 80 out of a total of 120 workers decided against the occupation of the Brukman textile factory, arguing that prior to the economic crisis in Argentine Jacobo Brukman had been paying his workers well. This film tells the story of the battle for Brukman - a struggle of conflicting views for truth and justice.
