A class of teenagers from a school outside Paris reenact scenes of strikes, resistance, and labor disputes from films from the May ‘68 era. Our Defeats assembles the results, and adds interviews in which the director queries the students about the scenes they’ve just acted in.
"With May 1968 as a backdrop, 'Nos Défaites' questions French youth about their ideals and the political action needed to change the world. Director Jean-Gabriel Périot - who has extensive experience in documentaries - builds a portrait of how teenagers have good motivations and that with the right encouragement, they can make small transformations in society. Nearly 53 years after May 1968, we see the reflection of everything that was fomented at that time and that revolution is still necessary."
