This work analyses the social, economic and emotional changes imposed by new conditions of production upon traditional textiles work. As a case study, it takes the cities of Terrasa and Mataró, historically tied to the clothing industry, and through the combination of archive material, personal testimony and the voiceover of the artist, the work reveals the effects of these changes on the lives of female workers and former workers in these factories.
