Non-playable latinx characters work in endless loops alongside propagandistic praise of cheap Mexican labor. Somewhere on a field a worker sings: "Lo que quiero es una máquina lechuguera" ("What I want is a salad harvesting machine") „Cosecha mecánica“ ("Mechanical harvest") juxtaposes the 1950s US propaganda film „Why braceros?“, contemporary audio field-recordings and background characters of a video game– to visually explore how work is reshaped and its value redefined to suit our consumerist needs.
