The documentary covers the first phase of the brazilian metalworkers' strike in 1979. It was made to be shown to the workers during the truce between the two phases of the strike, with the aim of mobilizing them for the second phase. The film shows the large assemblies, with more than 100 thousand metalworkers, in the Vila Euclides field, in São Bernardo do Campo; the mobilization for a vigil at the Union; the resulting street conflicts and the triumphant return of the board, headed by Lula, in the great assembly in which the truce was proposed.

In the late seventies, a group of Brazilian documentary filmmakers traveled to the ABC region in the suburbs of São Paulo with the purpose of recording a wave of worker strikes taking place in response to the negligence of the increasingly powerful and abusive automotive industry. Documenting striking women metal workers, Olga Futemma and Renato Tapajós’ Trabalhadoras Metalúrgicas is a particularly vigorous work among the films produced during this moment in São Paulo worker history. Scenes filmed during the first Congress of Metallurgical Women of São Bernardo and Diadema in 1978 are intercut with images documenting the appalling working conditions against which the women featured in the congress were striking.
