		The director Jan Bucquoy and his assistant Nathalie Sartiaux realise a unique experiment in the history of cinema: they mix documentary images of the closing down of a car factory with the story of the kidnapping of the managing director in an way that fiction and reality cannot be distinguished.
			The for their time (1998!) advanced digital technique made this possible because the images could be edited and taken in almost the same time ! The workers realize that they are the playing ground for capitalist changes, nobody cares about their fate.
		It is for them a hard moment and they have difficulties to understand what happens. Their unbelief turns into frustration after the first shock of the announcement on television of Louis Schweitzer that it is finished at Vilvoorde: "La fermeture de l'usine Renault à Vilvoorde est irrévocable!". !
		"La fermeture des usines, c'est aussi, hélas, la vie. Les arbres naissent, vivent et meurent. Les plantes, les animaux, les hommes et les entreprises aussi."	They go into the street, burn car-models of Renault and ask questions to the politicians who can not answer them. All this is filmed by the camera of the director. This movie is more than just a documentary: it is a historical document about the negative side-effects of the so-called globalization.
