Factory Girl tells the story of Hiyam (Raeis), a young factory worker living in a lower middle-class neighborhood, along with her co-workers. She is clearly under the spell of Salah, the factory's new supervisor, who has expressed his admiration for her. She believes love can transcend the class differences between them. However, when a pregnancy test is discovered on the factory's premises, her family and close friends accuse her of sinning. Hiyam decides not to defend herself and pays an enormous price in a society that fails to accept independent women.

Factory Girl has been released recently in 15 Swedish cities, through Arab Cinema in Sweden (ACIS); the distributer of Malmo Arab Film Festival, marking the film's international premiere, based on an agreement signed with MAD Solutions, the film's distributer.
