After the May ‘68 protests, Gilles, a young Parisian student, is taken in by the political and creative turmoil of the times. Through a haze of wild parties, social activism and romantic encounters, he and his friends partake in some of the most defining moments of the post-war period.

But as the weight of reality pushes down on them, issues of personal responsibility and the nature of idealism will cause them to question their actions and future plans.
