Between the experimental short film that the writer Lemâitre made on May 68 based on a text of political economy by Isou and the Gaumont news broadcasts, we see two ways of immediately representing historical events. That year, Marguerite Duras interviews a 16 year old leader of his school (Les lyceens ont la parole). Through the emotive portrait of his friend Michel Recanati, who committed suicide in 1978, Goupil remembers the history of a generation marked by the problem of commitment
