Diplomacy on Nixon's visit to China (February 21 — 28, 1972)

 

The killing of the factory's boss by one of the workers leads to endless negotiations between the two parties.

 

Shot in cinéma vérité style, with a mostly amateur cast, Laukaus tehtaalla mirrors the working classes' insecurity caused by the 1973 energy crisis in more ways than one.
