1968 and 1969 in Paris: during and after the student and trade union revolt. Fran├ºois is 20, a poet, dodging military service. He takes to the barricades, but won’t throw a Molotov cocktail at the police. He smokes opium and talks about revolution with his friend, Antoine, who has an inheritance and a flat where Fran├ºois can stay. Fran├ºois meets Lilie, a sculptor who works at a foundry to support herself. They fall in love. A year passes; Fran├ºois continues to write, talk, smoke, and be with Lilie. Opportunities come to Lilie: what will she and Fran├ºois do?
