Synopsis

This 16mm film was jointly planned and produced by Womenlink and Bariter, a women's film collective, and directed by Kim Soyoung, addressing the issues faced by female office workers. Composed of two parts, the film's first part portrays married female office workers burdened by the double duty of work and housework, while the second part depicts unmarried female office workers breaking free from their role as mere "office flowers" to actively participate in forming a labor union and gradually develop a sense of ownership.
