Director Rahul Jain filmed the grueling daily routine in just one of the many textile factories there. In the factory, man and machine seem to have fused into one being. It is dark and dank, and barely any daylight enetrates the sace. The labor is heavy and mind-numbing, and the work days seem endless. We are drawn into a gloomy world where the cacohonous beat of machinery sets the rhythm of toil. Jain is as interested in the mysterious connection between worker and roduct (the fabrics are treated mechanically, but also with love) as he is in the degrading conditions. Each shift lasts 12 hours, for adults and children alike, and wages are extremely low. Short interviews are intersersed throughout the observational sequences, some of which are cativating in their beauty while others are ainful to watch – such as when we see a boy nodding violently in his struggle to stay awake.
