Synopsis:

The winter season is almost here. In the snow chain packing section of a factory, the orders are piling up. Javier, the supervisor, asks upper management for additional personnel. Jairo is sent from another section while Karmentxu and Angela are hired through a temporary work agency, for two weeks. From 6am to 2pm, the four of them pack snow chains in silence, each of them at their own workstation. The meteorology announces a cold spell thus prolonging their stay at the factory. Almost without noticing, Angela starts breaking the work rules and little by little, the rules start changing. The work becomes a game and that cold and gray building the place to play. Nobody can imagine what is going on behind that iron gate. It is a secret shared just for the four of them. A world that survives thanks to the continuous snow. What is going to happen when the snow ceases to fall?

The winter season is approaching. In the snow chain packing section of a factory, the orders are starting to pile up. Javier, the manager, asks for more staff to be provided. Jairo is sent from another section while Ángela and Karmentxu are hired through a temporary work agency, for two weeks. From 6am to 2pm, the four of them pack snow chains in silence, each of them at their own workstation. Weather reports predict a storm, thus prolonging their time at work. Without realising, Ángela starts to break the work rules and, little by little, the rules begin to change.

With the winter season fast approaching and orders piling up in the snow chain division, supervisor Javier and shy assistant Jairo are joined by temporary workers, motherly Karmentxu and feisty Angela. During the frigid days, they each pack chains in silence until Angela starts breaking the rules. Work becomes a game and their dismal workplace becomes a playground. Their newfound camaraderie makes them reflect upon what they demand of their lives and of each other. However, it is uncertain what will happen when the snow ceases to fall.
