The Spell

After being exploited by THE HAND for far too long, a small group of sweatshop seamstresses organizes a ritual to summon an occult power to achieve better working conditions for themselves... But is this power strong enough to overtake the might of The Hand?

A magical-realistic tale about the textile industry, its workers and the power dynamics between the global North and South, accompanied by the mythical dream of a utopia...
