Every heartbeat sends out regenerated blood that nourishes living cells and sustains life. Every day, countless pumps, veritable “metallic hearts” whose rhythm sets the pace of modern industrial life, transport not only water but a wide variety of fluids. Through its many examples, this film shows that modern industry can meet every demand in this field.
