The film is about the first major women's strike in Norway, the match workers' strike in Kristiania (now Oslo) in 1889. On the morning of October 23, 1889, the match workers at the Bryn and Grønvold match factories in the city went on strike.[5][6] Working conditions were miserable, and most of the young women ended up with ruined health after a short period of performing the hazardous work, affected by phosphorus necrosis.[7][8]
