Plot
A documentary about young garment workers in Zhili.
Sinekatalog’s take
Wang Bing's documentary spends years with young garment workers in the Zhili factories, who sleep, flirt, quarrel and haggle over pay. Immersive and tender, it is the first part of a vast portrait of China's migrant youth.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
