在这部康比纳工厂纪录片片中,马格尼托戈尔斯克是位于俄罗斯中心一个工业城镇。依靠着庞大的康比纳钢铁厂,整个城市得以运转。该城市也是当今世界上污染最严重的城市之一。雷娜——一位钢铁工人的后裔,年轻的母亲兼舞蹈老师,正带领着工人们练习跳舞;萨沙——为了逃避每日工作压力而沉迷跳舞,她的哥哥嫂子正计划带着女儿离开这个城市,因为钢铁厂带来的永久污染是造成他们女儿智力缺陷的关键因素。影片记录了在“苏联乌托邦”式的工业生产模式下的马格尼托戈尔斯克,展现了在工厂轰鸣和蒸汽笼罩下,工人们顽强又艰难的生活图景。
In the heart of Russia, the city of Magnitogorsk is home to the Kombinat, one of the largest iron and steel factory in the country. Here, Gabriel Tejedor films the day-to-day lives of Lena, Sasha, Guenia and their families, while this new generation of young parents wonder about their living and working conditions, which seem pre-determined by the Kombinat and its State capitalism.
