France, May 1968. The Boltanski family lives in their Parisian home while youth revolts erupt outside. In the Boltanskis’ lair, past and present coexist: the past through the memories of nine-year-old Christophe’s grandparents; the present through the radio and the sounds of crowds through the windows. However, an unexpected guest bursts into the apparent bourgeois quiet. Lionel Baier thus intertwines the kammerspiel (as in his Vanity), the coming-of-age novel (as in Stupid Boy), and the radio (as in Longwave) in a lively and cheerful compendium of his career, with a loving and affectionate perspective on the French past of 1968, but without ever allowing the story to degenerate into gratuitous nostalgia. If it is true that Christophe’s grandmother denies the romantic tale of the past (which for the Boltanski family means above all having survived the Nazi-Fascist occupation), it is equally true that Christophe seeks his identity with an eye to the future, also through the tender and never cynical gaze of the Swiss director.
