THE
STORY
It's a night in May 68 in Paris. François Dervieux is twenty years old; he's a poet. He walks among the demonstrators, takes part in the
barricades and looks the CRS in the whites of their eyes. On the roof of a building where he takes
refuge, he dreams of 1789 and 1848. 68 has just proved to him that "Anyway, we're always
alone ...". He lives permanently
in the present, squatting in a friend's apartment (inherited from the friend's
late father) and smokes opium. At
a party, he meets Lilie, with whom he falls in love. She's a sculptress and works in a moulding workshop to earn a
living. They live with others in a
friend's apartment.
France, 2005, black and white, 178 mins.
