In the presence of the film crew

In 2022, Yangon is in the midst of a civil war following the military coup of February 1, 2021. Mi-Thet, a young Burmese woman, works in a garment factory in the city, far from her native village. Wages have not been paid for two months, and a group of workers is organizing a strike. But soon, the strikers are attacked by the henchmen of the military regime, leaving Mi-Thet terrified by her past trauma.
