Women Workers Leaving the Factory
| Chile | 21 MINUTES | No DialogueDrama
In Women Workers Leaving the Factory, director José Luis Torres does for factory girls, what Zola or Bruegel did for the common worker. Torres first shows us the dirty factory, where only women work at the production units. During their short break, the girls rally together, ultimately deciding to leave work early and spend the afternoon on the beach. Their suffering and relief are both brought to bear in this heartbreaking and atmospheric film about the invisible prisons that society builds for us.
