People leave their place of work at the Lumiere factory and go home
That's it nothing else to tell . There's a certain novelty value to this very short film and you have to keep that in mind in the context it was made . It seems strange nowadays in an era of ipods and iphones where anyone possessing one can do an ad hoc sex tape or film footage of a gun battle in Afghanistan or indeed watch a short ground breaking like this on youtube . Even stranger to think that this was the first film that people actually paid to see at a cinema , but again you have to remember the novelty value of moving pictures
One thing I did notice is how plump the woman appear in the film . That said in those days women around the world had a very rotten life as little more than baby factories . They were little more than serfs , wouldn't have careers and wouldn't have had the vote either . Say what you like about the 20th Century but time has improved the lives of women in Western secular democracy . Quite rightly too and we should feel a great deal of pity for the women in this film
