In Morocco, there are women who work for a Dutch company. Their job: remove the carcass of the small shrimps. The shrimps make a very big journey since they are sinned in Holland, they travel to Morocco by truck and boat and then they leave again for the point of departure in Holland, to be sold. Unfortunately the women who do this job are little paid, 1€ for more than 1 hour of work. The work is also very difficult and repetitive. Together, with about twenty of these workers, we imagined a story to tell their situation, then we filmed it.
