“……他梦见了一些庞大的、极为古怪的建筑物，它们不断散发出工业的巨响，既像是末日时代才会出现的避难所，又如同一切建筑物最赤裸的祖先。在梦里，不知何故，他很确信，那些噪音并不来自于任何外部的机械装置，而实则内在于这些建筑物的躯体中，在那些坚实的混凝土墙内部，它们的灰色砂砾纹理像湖面的水纹一样振动着……”

To the south of the Indian metropolis of Surat in Gujarat province lies a vast industrial zone that has been growing ever since the 1960s. 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 penetrates the space. The labor is heavy and mind-numbing, and the work days seem endless. We are drawn into a gloomy world where the cacophonous beat of machinery sets the rhythm of toil. Jain is as interested in the mysterious connection between worker and product (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 interspersed throughout the observational sequences, some of which are captivating in their beauty while others are painful to watch – such as when we see a boy nodding violently in his struggle to stay awake.
