Working with Etienne Becker, who also shot most of Phantom India, Louis Malle explores the inner workings of the Citroën factory in Rennes, Britanny. At first the film seems to be a celebration of the idea of teamwork, of the many talents and skills that go into the construction of even a single automobile, but gradually the film takes on a darker tone, as the routine of the job and the physical discomfort of the environment itself start to take their toll.
