Summary

The mythical strike at the LIP clock factory, better known as « the LIP Conflict » has been, due to the importance of the economic and political questions it raised, to the different forms of organization it assumed, and to its scope and popularity, one of the largest social events of the second half of the 20th century in Europe.

This film, produced by the LIP workers, tells the story of their struggle from the inside.
