Story
During the 1970s a student named Gilles gets entangled in contemporary political turmoils although he would rather just be a creative artist. While torn between his solidarity to his friends and his personal ambitions he falls in love with Christine.
Summary
Amidst the tumultuous 1970s, Gilles, an artistically inclined student, finds himself unwittingly drawn into the political maelstrom of the era. Torn between allegiance to his radical peers and his personal artistic aspirations, he navigates this treacherous landscape while also grappling with a burgeoning love for Christine. Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the heady, transformative May '68 protests in Paris, a group of impassioned young Europeans refuse to let the revolution's embers die, seeking ways to keep the flame of change alive amidst the shifting political tides.
