Overview:

In 1973, workers at the LIP watch factory in France take control of their workplace after management announces mass layoffs. They organize a self-managed production system, selling watches to sustain themselves while resisting government and corporate pressure. As tensions rise, their movement gains national attention, symbolizing broader struggles for workers' rights and self-management.
