A new form of income has come to the Transylvanian village of Viscri. Women in the community are knitting socks and selling them to Western European countries through a local cooperative.

But the inequality that results from this new found economy causes tensions in the community – between men and women, Romanians and outsiders and even between the different women working for the cooperative.
