SYNOPSIS:

The story begins after the match.

What kind of impact does a revolt have on those who lived through it?

The impact of an event can be heard through a progressive score played out over the long term. By tracing the intersecting paths of the Yellow Vests over several years following the movement, the film explores how their relationships with the world, politics, violence, otherness, and social boundaries have evolved.

The struggle also carves out deeper paths within us—paths that sometimes unsettle us and sometimes set us free—and that reveal themselves in our relationships at work, with our families, with others, and with ourselves.

In turn, a historian and a sociologist draw parallels between these traces and those of other movements that have left their mark on history, such as the Paris Commune or the Spanish Indignados.

Through both personal experiences and collective journeys, the film explores the extent to which social struggles can transform us and lead to emancipation.
