Résumé

La construction de la ligne de chemin de fer "des millions" (ainsi appelée parce que sa construction coûta un million de florins au kilomètre).

Spoorwegbouw Zuid-Limburg (Railway Construction South Limburg) shows the construction of the "Million Railway Track," for which each kilometre cost a million guilders and huge amounts of soil had to be moved. Mankind's mastering of nature with his labour and ingenuity (i.e. the machines that he invented) was a theme dear to Ivens and one that he would elaborate in many of his films. Spoorwegbouw Zuid-Limburg includes shots that are typical of the 1920s avant-garde style: workers filmed in frog perspective and carriages that run diagonally through the frame.
