With this semi-autobiographical feature, Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper) offers a vibrant, incisively crafted story of a young man’s artistic awakening in the politically turbulent French student movement following the May 68 protests. Gilles, a young high school student, is taken in by the political and creative turmoil of the times. Much like his friends, he is torn between his radical commitment and his more personal ambitions. Down the line, they will ultimately need to make definitive choices in order to find their place.
