Plot synopsis
A 40-year old man (Kostas Ferris) has reached a milestone of his life. Representing the generation that lived the French rebellion in May ’68, he doesn’t fit into any ideological or social group. Thrown out by everyone, he leaves the coenobium where he was staying. He goes out on the streets, meets old friends and people his age and he gets back together with his old girlfriend as well. He disapproves of a system that may have given birth to him, but which he obstinately refuses to accept. As, neither love nor profound theory can fill his empty soul, he directs his theatrical death.Read More »
