Plot Summary:This documentary is about women's bodies and labor. In global capitalism, many women are expelled to the peripheries of society, where they are labeled housewives, sex workers, dispatched workers, migrant workers, homeless and so on. In the marginalized world of women, their bodies have special meaning. A woman's body becomes a means of labor or a commodity itself. However, sometimes, it is regarded as tainted, hence subject to moral judgment. 'Red Maria' aims to document these women's bodies that support the existence of global capitalism in the lowliest place, thereby raising the question - from the perspective of women and labor - of what it means socially to 'work hard.'
通过对菲律宾的慰安妇、韩国的外来性工作者、日本为外来劳工争夺权益和为流浪汉提供服务的女性、起诉大公司的案例以及对工作的讨论等种种跨越时空经验的并置，来探讨工作和身体对女性的意义，“比较”的方法很喜欢~不过确实如红姐姐所批评的缺少对话和连贯性= =
