Assembling electronic and digital equipment, these American industries are located in Mexico adjacent to the border with the U.S. to take advantage of the Maquila decree, which allows them to avoid paying taxes in Mexico, employ cheaper labour than in the United States and to export their products without border tariffs. Biemann exposes the dangers, abuses and fragility in which these women live, caught between factory work in the IT industry and life in the slums.

Biemann also addresses the serial murder and rape of young women in Ciudad Juárez that has been ongoing since 1993.
