Sinopsis
The film’s French title could be translated as 'There's a whiff of revolution in the air'. It analyses the rise and fall of the international revolutionary movement, including the death of Che Guevara, Paris in May 68, the protests in the United States against the Vietnam war, the military coup in Chile and the bitter end to the Prague Spring. Marker at his most politically and socially committed.
