In the turbulent year of 1913, in a small industrial town in the United States, a group of workers at a textile factory finds itself on the brink of a strike. The tension between the employees and management is palpable, as the leadership refuses to improve working conditions and wages, leaving the workers on the edge of despair. But when the employees decide to act and organize a protest, the company hires a contingent of strikebreakers, who are young volunteers eager to earn quick money.
The arrival of these enthusiastic and somewhat naive young men creates a whirlwind of emotions. Some come from humble backgrounds and see this opportunity as their salvation; others, on the contrary, have an air of arrogance that provokes the anger of the striking workers. As the tension escalates, old friends find themselves on opposite sides, and the conflict intensifies, bringing to light betrayals, loyalties, and hidden desires.
With a raw and emotional narrative, the film explores themes of class, struggle, and the quest for dignity. Through poignant interactions and unexpected encounters, the protagonists must question their own motivations and decisions. In the end, they are forced to confront the harsh reality of what it means to be part of a larger struggle, as their lives are forever changed in a battle between self-interest and solidarity.
