Prompted by the filmmaker, nine teenagers individually act out their secret dreams and, between times, talk about their world as they see it. Babette conceives of herself as an abbess defending her fortress, a convent; Michelle is transported in a dream of love where all time ceases; Philippe is the revolutionary, defeating all the institutions that plague him, and so on, through all their fantasies. All the actual preoccupations of youth are raised: authority, drugs, social conflict, sex. With English subtitles.

This film contains scenes of nudity and/or sexuality. Viewer discretion is advised.

    Love this film! Jutra's homage a' la Godard. Back in 2011, I was visiting Montreal for this first time & found myself needing the facilities at the old NFB building, I was reminded of Dave's scene in the building & how the vista of the highway had completely changed over the course of the years; now dotted with car dealerships.
