Ty-Peupe

1971

The ideal of youth is at the centre of this eloquent film, mixing documentary and fiction, art and experimentation.

But not just any job. The two idealists want a job that will satisfy their desire for freedom, peace and respect. Of course, even though the breath of renewal from Expo 67 still floats here and there, the world they encounter does not correspond - by far - to their aspirations. Strangers in this country that tells them nothing, they come across brutally, materialism, violence, and egocentrism.
