Early 1915. The First World War has been raging for several months. In an arms factory, somewhere in France, Julie, Rose, Jeanne and Louise, four "girls with yellow hands", manufacture shells and discover their destiny as workers. Like everyone else, they want victory and the return of men. In this unique setting, Jeanne longs for revenge, Julie dreams of love, Rose listens to Louise, and Louise speaks, campaigns, writes and tries to believe in a new world. In an industrial hellhole that experiments with mass production and Taylorism, with its inhuman working conditions, the four women discover a freedom of body, speech, mind, but also life. Social inequality, solidarity, and something that looks like the beginning of emancipation... Production is played in French.
