At the dawn of the seventies, Swiss youngsters search for somewhere to get together and for meaning in a life that seems to them to be increasingly pernicious. From bitter anguish to the emergence of political thought, their voices clamour for the same ideal: independence.

Children of Léthé

A virus spreads at incredible speed. Once it reaches the cerebral cortex it progressively erases the memory, nothing can stop it.
