A famous documentary about the Peugeot factory in Sochaux in the 1970s. In this region, everything is owned by Peugeot: homes, stores, schools and leisure - there is no escaping it. The production line dictates the rhythm of everyday life: a horrible machine, draining workers' energy and hope. Workers' hopes have vanished after the May 68 defeat. In 1968, the Sochaux factory was one of the places where resistance was strong. 2 people were killed and 150 were injured.
