Nadia et les hippopotames (1999)
Directed by Dominique Cabrera

Film Synopsis

In November 1995, the whole of France is paralysed by transport strikes.  The government plan to combat the strike is ill-received by the staff of the national railway, the SNCF, and some - Serge, Claire and Jean-Paul in particular - are motivated to take action against it.  On their return to base just outside Paris they meet a woman named Nadia.  She is carrying a child and is looking for the father who abandoned her when the baby was born.  Understanding the poor woman's distress, the strikers urge her to join them in their combat.
