»In principle there was 5 sqm for each person plus kitchen and toilet.«

In the impressively named district of »Sorge« (Worry), contract workers from Vietnam are accommodated in new buildings. A German and a Vietnamese couple remember their life and work in those days, not without a touch of humour. They were employed in the textile industry as needleworkers. The sound of the sewing machine also sets the rhythm of the animation, in which Thanh Nguyen Phuong illustrates the documentary accounts with delicate fabric print images.
