SYNOPSIS:

The story begins after the struggle.

What mark does a revolt leave on those who have experienced it?

The impact of an event can be heard through a progressive score played over time. By following the intersecting paths of the Yellow Vests for several years after the movement, the film examines the evolution of their relationship to the world, politics, violence, otherness, and social boundaries.

Then the struggle also leaves deeper scars that sometimes upset and sometimes liberate, and that reveal themselves in relationships at work, with family, in speech, and with oneself.

In response, a historian and a sociologist draw parallels between these movements and others that have marked history, such as the Paris Commune and the Spanish Indignados.

Through intimate and collective journeys, the film questions the extent to which social struggles can transform us and become emancipatory.
