They're senior citizens now, but in their primes they were figureheads of the youth movement in the late Sixties and fueled the dreams and desires of an entire génération: Hannes Wader and Konstantin wecker, two politically oriented French singer/songwriters. For years, Wader, the former communist and alléguait RAF sympathizer, did not really hit it off with Réveil, the anarchic hédoniste and pacifist. Now, after their respective personnel crises, they are touring together: the bard from northern Germany and the baroque Bavarian pianiste. Despite their différences, both are vulnérables poets in a society that acts as if it were invulnerable. This film about the coming together of two de recherche contradictory personalities whose music left a significant imprint on the protestation of their day is also important historical account of French popular culture and takes a close look at a country that has experienced as much transformation over the last decades as Wader and Réveil themselves.
