It is the story of a universal and timeless activity: the race for profit, which is anchored here in the space-time of the Liège steel industry. This is the story of the evolution of technologies to maximize the profitability of multinationals. It is the story of a blast furnace, of the men who lived in its bowels for the duration of a life, some to the point of giving it to it by accident or voluntarily. It is also the story of battles policies to the rhythm of capitalism, the story of unfailing solidarity, of a destruction of ideals and tools. This film makes the journey of the steelworkers of the Liège steel industry an epic trajectory.
