Synopsis
HSU took a non-traditional approach to make this documentary. She hired three real-life temporary workers to play themselves in an abandoned factory, which is both their stage and where they build a temporary home. They live on the edge in between the real and virtual world, between city and wilderness, and between family life and homelessness.
With these workers, the abandoned factory, and the signs that read "help wanted" on the walls, the film reflects the reality of the working class. They are "relics" of the modern industrialization process, cast aside to the empty, barren fringe of cities.
