Shenzhen, a small fishing village 30 years ago, has today joined the ranks of Chinese megacities. To enable this incredible urban sprawl, millions of farmers had left their rural communities to become construction workers. This film particularly focuses on the fate of drilling workers who, lured by very attractive salaries, dig shafts into the rock for the necessary foundations of futuristic skyscrapers. They work with a simple hammer drill, at the risk of their lives.
