Synopsis
The steel industry once put Luxembourg’s economy on its feet. After the industry died out, what remained of it was deserted, colossal buildings and lives scarred by unsafe working conditions. However, for many, these hazardous jobs still represented a daily beacon of hope and financial security. This monumental film stands in the memory of the labor that went on behind four factory walls, documenting in “memento mori” fashion the vanishing world of industrial workers.L’industrie sidérurgique a autrefois remis sur pied l’économie luxembourgeoise.
