The Empire of Shame

Synopsis

"It was like I was in a different world. Men and women all wore the same clothes and it looked like a small country. There were a factory, dormitory, even hospital. Just being there was sort of making me feel good. I can recall the first time I was in manufacturing line. Real robots working there." It's a story about nameless people wearing white coat, hat and mask working in a clean room, exposing eyes only.
