In Ho Chi Minh City, while communist propaganda posters and advertisements share the broadcast screens, 200 Vietnamese employees of an IT company organize themselves without hierarchy. From meetings to work sessions, from using the Internet to voting by show of hands, we discover their repeated efforts to defend the individual development of each person and the sense of community. But the constraints of a globalized market cause their concern for fairness and social justice to waver. They then develop strategies, play with the codes and cogs of the ultraliberal system to try to gain ground and defend their values: a game of chess begins. Every battle involves sacrifices and a share of renunciation. Will they succeed in preserving their integrity?
