Thirty years after May 1968, a man offers a look back at these events, the ideas of the time and the noble combat which, today, still appears to him like a necessity. Today, his look at the past has not changed and his opinions do not seem to have evolved even though he recognizes he has made a concession as he is working for the government as a civil servant. In parallel to this man's thoughts, another person, as a voice-over, expresses her bitterness and her disillusion: is society condemned to evolve complacently in this system? Is this evil, the evil of resignation? The film seems to give us the answer as it shows us the possibility of an alternative to resignation: being faithful to one's dreams.
