That's what management proposes: cut seven minutes from a break that only has twenty. The eleven union representatives have sixty minutes to seal the fate of their colleagues. One hour to make a crucial decision: agree to sacrifice seven minutes per day in exchange for the promise, not guaranteed, that no one will be laid off.Eleven women. Eleven stories. Eleven ways to be afraid, to hope, to resist or to yield. In the factory committee room, voices clash, silences weigh tons, and the strongest convictions begin to waver. Should we say yes to protect the most vulnerable? Say no to avoid betraying those who gave everything to win these rights? And can a 7-minute compromise shake what generations have spent decades building? At the very heart of this vertigo, solidarity and survival face each other in a cold silence.
