Taking a sweatshop job in Seoul to support her family, a teenaged girl endures a life of extreme exploitation that contributes to Korea's economic rise in the 1970s. She works long, sunless days on a stereo-assembly line, struggling through night school every evening in order to achieve her dream of becoming a writer.
