The video shows a woman working at a silk reeling machine. She is wearing a black and white striped shirt, blue jeans, and an apron. She is wearing a face mask around her neck. She is standing in front of a long machine with many spools that are spinning. In front of the machine are trays filled with silkworm cocoons. She is using her hands to manipulate the threads from the cocoons onto the spools. Other women are visible in the background also working at similar machines. The environment appears to be a factory setting with a concrete floor and fluorescent lighting.
