Within a sprawling industrial complex, three new employees are each assigned a department. There, each must focuses on a specific task: one shreds paper, one proofreads documents and another studies the moss growing all over the expansive grounds. As they grow accustomed to the routine and co-workers, their lives become governed by their work – days take on a strange logic and momentum, and little by little, the margins of reality seem to be dissolving. With hints of Kafka and Beckett and unexpected moments of creeping humour, ‘The Factory’ is a vivid and surreal portrait of the absurdity and meaninglessness of the modern workplace.
