"1976. Mathieu et Mathilde Vernier attendent un enfant qui aura vingt-cinq ans en l'an 2000. Ils voudraient bien que le monde qu'il connaîtra soit meilleur que le leur. Mathieu, ouvrier au chômage, s'engage comme journalier chez un couple de fermiers. Parmi leurs amis, il y a Max, Madeleine, Marco, Marie et Charles. Tous espèrent que le monde de demain ne sera plus celui de l'argent et du profit."
""The European equivalent of "The Return of the Secaucus 7," this Swiss film looks at the lives of several men and women in their 30s as they confront the slim gains of the "revolutionary" sixties. Max, a dissatisfied copy editor; Myriam, a redhead into tantric sex; and Marie, a supermarket checker who gives unauthorized discounts to the elderly, search for renewed meaning on a communal farm. The title character, a six-year-old child, is the carrier of their hopes for the future."--Mark Pritchard."
"The tragicomedy follows the lives of four couples, all in their twenties or thirties, who live on a communal farm in the wake of the social and political tumult of May 1968 in France. The various people-- including an unorthodox history professor, a trade unionist, a disillusioned journalist turned gambler, a secretary captivated by tantric sex, a rural worker and his factory-worker wife, and a supermarket cashier who gives away food-- are all trying, in different ways, to maintain the ideals of May 1968 and to find alternatives to capitalism."
"Through the eyes of several characters, the film looks at the lives of several men and women in their 30s who search for renewed meaning on a communal farm."
"Eight people, caught between their revolutionary spirits and their need to fit into society, find ways to meet their personal needs."
"Eight French veterans of 1968 are stranded between revolution and accommodation in the 1970s. Each has his or her own eccentric solutions to the problems of society. Intelligent dialogues and monologues."
