One night, a group of workers realizes that their administration has organized the stealing of machines from their factory. Most of them refuse to partake in this operation and they start to occupy their workplace. So, when the administration vanishes to their great surprise, they’re left with a half-empty factory... As the world around them collapses, new desires start to emerge in a collective adventure that balances between the harshness of social realism and the madness of a dreamy musical.
