What can happen in a factory where all the machines disappear overnight?
The workers at a lift factory are surprised one morning to find someone has taken all the machines. There are many interpretations of the situation, but they eventually settle on one – there are going to be massive lay-offs. Many of workers refuse to take part in the negotiations and instead decide to occupy the factory. But when the company executives suddenly disappear, the workers are left alone in a half-empty factory… This genre-crossing film, full of surreal humor and hyperbole, even unabashedly incorporates even elements. The Portuguese film festival hit is also commentary on the economic crisis the country has struggled with.
