Plot

A textile company is acquired by a foreign multinational corporation. The new owner seems intent on not making redundancies but asks the workers to sign a particular clause that provides for the 7-minute reduction of lunch time. The development of the debate among the workers will bring each one of them to a phase of profound reflection.
