An epic drama of life and sexual politics in France. Friends and lovers caught up in the excitement of May '68 at the Sorbonne eventually leave Paris for a communal life in the country. The collective seems at first like a fairytale of left-wing hippiedom, but principles are gradually betrayed as its members drift away to bourgeois careers. Laetitia Casta gives a great performance as the central figure, Catherine; loved by both Hervé and Yves and eventually left by everyone, she remains a gentle but determined matriarch.
