The most important events
in a person's life

Elements in a system interact...

...and are interdependent.

Otherwise
there would be no system.

It is a milligramme--
- Shh! Hey, the teacher's talking.

This is not good!

This is not good at all!

Or Pepsi.

A lot of Pepsi, good, sweet Pepsi!

This is not good! This is not good!

Christ!

Poor thing...

If we agree to look things in the
face

DRUGS
It doubles my senses...

changes...

my reactions.

Music is twice as beautiful.

I see so much more

listening to this music,

making me think about things,

I wouldn't think about

when I'm... sober.

In high school
16-year-old kids deal...

marijuana... LSD...

It's not normal
for 13-year-olds.

Kids used to drink.

Now they smoke,

drop acid.

It's never happened before.

It's just an escape.

Nothing more.

As a way of life,
it's terrible.

Drugs are no solution.

Many of my friends

are destroyed

by dope.

It's so easy...
Like drinking beer.

It's fun... till you come down.

When I would go out...

I had to have a little extra
something.

And then, well.

Everything goes together...

I tried drinking.

Everything happened at once.

And where I lived, well...

Then...

smoked a little...

more...

and a lot.

Hash and grass
aren't addictive

but they lead to stronger stuff

like heroin.

You can try hash and grass
but not acid.

LSD and chemicals
are something else.

Harmful physically and mentally.

I met someone
who made me think.

Otherwise I'd still be...

smoking...

a lot.

I met someone.

Others tried to talk me out of it.

I found that stupid.

I'd stop for two days,
and then "Pouf!"

I can't say I'm against drugs.

Then I'd be against

all artificial means of escape.

But I'll destroy myself
if I continue.

I have no need for it.

I smoked because I was down.

I took a little,
thinking it would help me.

It didn't always.

No acid.

I stick to hash and pot.

Nothing harder.

A MEMORY

Hey guys! Police!

Youth is so important...

Always has been.

All youth are idealists
looking ahead.

Committing suicide!

This existed when our parents
were young.

As much as today?

The pace of life causes that.

17-year-old drug addicts?

That's the same thing.
Progress.

That's progress?

Youth has always rebelled.

Aggressiveness.

It's not it at all.

Maybe in your case.

My boss read

about the student revolution
in Paris.

He hates long hair.

You have long hair,

so you are bad.

So I said...

Fuck off, men! I'm not bad.

If you don't like my hair...

Don't say they understand.
They don't.

It's not true.

Your mother doesn't understand
your long hair.

It's not true.

She does!
- No, she doesn't.

These days, in 1968,

insecurity threatens youth.

We swallow,

we take it all in.

Now is the time to throw up.

I see what's happening.

It's frightening.

Because we are getting accused.

Christ!

We didn't make this mess.

We just got here.

It's the adults.

As a child, I was alone.

I sucked my thumb,

told myself stories.

I don't know why
I suck my thumb.

I'm doing good.

BABETTE'S DREAM
I see myself as a nun.

But not in a convent.

I would like...

To live in the country,

on a farm, perhaps.

This symbolises
my search for God

without any of the rigid rules.

God is nature.

So much closer to life.

The nun should face
a dangerous situation.

I have a need for heroism,

to outdo myself

with God's help.

O Lord, help me stay calm.

Spare my sisters and our convent.

May hatred be absent from my heart.

Let my charity be greater than
my love of country.

My enemies are my brothers

like all those you have created.

Grant me mercy.

O Lord,

I need courage.

My Reverend Mother,

we are going to occupy
your convent.

My sisters and I will leave.

But I beg you
to respect our chapel.

It is truly the house of God.

And if anyone destroys
God's temple,

God will destroy that person,

for God's temple is sacred.

Can we have an hour?

Certainly.

We will be back in an hour.

O Lord, preserve my faith.

You are the only hope.

All men seek your salvation,

even in sin and slaughter.

Let this trial bring me
closer to you.

FLIS' DREAM
To make a movie

or even to play in a movie,

I would be asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Most of all
I want to shock people.

I'd like

to...

run naked

down the street

with a ribbon around my neck,

blue or pink,

with a bow.

To shock the world.

Nothing more profound than that.

Disgusting!
- Not so bad...

Oh well.

LOVE

My turn? My turn, Jasmin.

Gestures are more important
than words.

Michelle is so important to me.

I couldn't do anything
without her.

It's everything.

There are difficult moments.

But...

It doesn't matter.

Christ, is it worth it!

It's like the sun.

No one notices it until it rains.

You give what you get.

Love is selfish.

To know how to be loved
is what I want.

I'm very sentimental.

Platonic!

Make love, uh...

This may sound straight but...

Making love
before you're married

is only fucking.

Physical love is very important.

Everybody needs some,
I suppose.

If that doesn't work,
nothing else will.

Sexual and intellectual
understanding

should blend.

Sometimes I think
all I need is sex,

but that's not enough.

Whenever there is physical love

there is "love".

Obviously,

a long term affair...

is better.

You attempt perfection.

Not perfection, because...

Love includes all aspects of man,
especially sexual life.

At 18,

that's...

that's what counts most for me.

Sometimes I need it.

Other times I don't,

I don't think about it,

when I'm involved in other things.

that... not that they interest me
more

but they focus me enough

so that I don't bother me anymore.

Plugging a void!

That's love!

It's really good.

The most beautiful thing in life.

You'll end up making war.

I trust

in my love

and in Dave's love.

That's it.

I've never experienced it

so I can't talk about it.

Before you really know it...

I feel it can play
an important role.

I'm waiting for it to come.

Love is everywhere, but...
you can't find it.

I stop time.

Nothing moves.

I'm the only one there, so...

I can do what I want.

I can take life away
or give it back

to anyone I choose.

That's it.

We've stopped! How come?

Yes!
- What do you mean?

"Yes"?
- Yes,

I stopped time!
- Stopped time, Michelle?

Yes! Look! Look! There, you see?

They stopped!

Hey, it's true!
- This is nothing, huh!

I can do whatever I want.
- Prove it!

All right.

See? They stopped.

Shall I bring them to life?

Well, we were talking.

About Washington.

From where you are back.
- Was it fun?

Uh, Christ...
- I think I missed something.

Now, I'll go talk to them
individually.

OK. Go!

Let's tease him.

But, I --
- François?

Yes, Michelle?
- You look awful.

Why don't you cut your hair?

It's part of my personality.

Yes, Michelle?
- What's your favourite film?

It's a masterpiece.

If ever I have enough money
to buy a sitar,

I'll buy it, and take classes.

Pierre?
- Yes?

Was your childhood important?
- Yes, very.

Happiest moments of my life.

"The" question...

Monique, how's your love life?

My only interest in life,
you know.

We will see what he will say.

Philippe?
- Yes, Michelle?

What's most important
between two people for you?

Love or friendship?

Now?

Love.

You see!

Come on!

PARENTS
Sure.

Sure I owe them something
I owe them everything.

But that's taken for granted.

My father taught me discipline.

I was afraid of him.
Not anymore.

I do what I want.
I said no to his face.

They gave me
a liberal education.

No religious hang ups.

Among...

intellectuals.

I can't accept
the way they brought me up.

My father would pick my wife,
choose my career.

He taught me the "right" way,

One step to the right,

one step to the left,
and it was over.

Then I realized that...

you can go right, or left,

that you can go your own way
if you know what you're doing.

That's the thing!

And doing what you love.

Do what I love,

It would be to leave right here
and there, and travel

with $50 in my pocket.

Do what I feel,

making it on my own.

At 18,

it's time to move.

You said parents are useful.

They're useless.

You claim they're helpful.

Christ!

It's not true.

They can say anything...

Even if it sounds absurd,

I trust in their experience,

but I still keep my distance.

Family life disgusts me.

I like my parents,

but I can't stand
living with them.

Up until now, happy, satisfied.

Naturally, if I had stayed in school
they would have been pleased.

I went back...

last year.

Did all right.
That's easy.

But you have
to make concessions.

School's no problem.

But what's the value

of the advice of parents,
of society?

I work hard at school.

I don't kill myself,

but I get good marks.

My father was concerned.

My mother doesn't care

provided you do something
with yourself.

I wasn't born to study.

I don't get anything out of it.

I thought about medicine,

But that's over.

I'm not the doctor type.

I'm not the studying kind.

I can't stand school.

The rules,

the atmosphere...

I'd never think of leaving school.

But...

Education is the solution
to all problems.

If everyone would learn,

if everyone would have...

...a minimum of knowledge.

It makes people more aware.

With more education,
there would be less war, etc.

PHILIPPE'S DREAM

32, 93,

93, 64, 69...

Ah, the friendly 69!

62, 92...

Move! You want to go to the station?

Long hair...

84... Oh, it's time!

Hello my son!

The ways of the Lord are dark!

Josée...

Are you good?

I'm good.

The future is happening.

It's going to be violent.

It's already started.

And it won't end.

Not for a long time.

We've got a lot of things...

to work out.

Our only means is violence.

Or, I don't kow, something else.

Right now we have nothing else.

There's going to be trouble!

We're really rebelling against...

war,

against people
murdering each other,

and you advocate...

Demonstrations are useless.

I don't know if it's how we should
have reacted,

but I wasn't moved
by what I saw.

Misery...

It revolts me somehow, but...

I saw things that I had
almost already seen.

Human misery is awful,
but you can see it here.

We've seen it,
but weren't involved.

I'm not worried about myself.

Others worry me.

Seeing poverty

crushes me,

so I toughen up to survive.

The fact that all these people...

are fighting for the same cause...

...overwhelms me.

I have to participate

even if my role is minimal.

Many smalls amount to something.

If you have to

I have no great feelings of
responsibility.

Say something!

They're no longer slaves,
but it's worse.

Then, they knew
why they ate shit.

Learning is participation.

Involvement frightens me.

You can get so hung up
on a cause

that it leads

to intolerance.

Well,

how else
can you get through?

There are other ways.

The violence in the U.S...

The advantage of violence
is revolution.

That would change everything

fast.

Their only chance is war.

It's sad to say,

but it has to be done.

Usually I'm against violence.
In this case I'm for it.

I wouldn't fight

for the Blacks

because...

I've done them no wrong.

Violence is no solution.

I want to be left alone.

To hell with politics.

Russia, America,

France, England...

I couldn't care less.

I'm not concerned with politics.

I don't bother with politics.

What I hate most is

automation, corporations.

Today, machines are considered
more important than people.

Technology
doesn't mean progress.

There's been no progress
in the last 2000 years.

I mean...

Weapons are more deadly.

Hunger and other problems
are not solved,

These problems are growing
every day.

They are not going away.

One third of the world starves

while the others eat like pigs.

Things have to change!

A solution must be found!

You feel impotent

in front of this.

I feel useless.

I want to do something.

Not much to do.

What can I do?

Nothing.

MONIQUE'S DREAM

I've always liked merry-go-rounds.

A little girl's fantasy.

It goes around and around...

Never stops.

At first I'm with children

because I am a child.

Then I drift away.

You forget about what is going on
around you.

There is only you.

Only you who floats and move.

Only you, surrounded by beauty.

I'm floating, free,

Then I let myself float away.

Higher...

FRIENDSHIP

When I manage to...

It's difficult to get through
to anyone.

With Marc I have something solid.

We don't need a lot of words.

We really know each other.

I'm looking for the answer
to communications.

I want to go to Europe this summer,
not with just anyone.

When you go for a month
you have to get along with the guy.

You're with him in the same shit.

I need a big guy.

140 pounds.

Two can work things out
better than one.

Europe the first time
is a little heavy. No money,

you don't speak the language.

Me understand the English?

I already have troubles in the U.S,

I won't understand a thing in
England.

In France, I'll understand
even less!

Spain, maybe...

FRANÇOIS DOESN'T DREAM

François is handsome.
Blond hair, blue eyes...

I'm a beautiful 17-year-old boy.

5'8", 120 pounds,

which is on the thin side.

But it does the trick.

Any more measurements?

I don't put myself in any class,

hippie,

bourgeois,

intellectual...

I don't know.
I'm not putting myself in a box.

I know him better than others

being his ex-girlfriend.

It was the first time
for both of us.

In all aspects.

And it was beautiful.

He's almost a man,
but not quite.

He still depends on his parents.

To be a man, do you have to...?

Make decisions!

At heart, he's conservative.

My shrink says
I'm non-conformist.

Conformist?
Not in little things...

But fundamentally,
he conforms.

He's a quiet guy.
You just sit there, look at people,

think and talk,

make people laugh...
That's cool.

Always happy,

never depressed.

He hates to make decisions.

Maybe I'm afraid of
committing myself.

I'm not scared of commitment.

I hesitate...

I doubt.

Doubt can be productive
if you can snap out of it.

And I can't snap out.

I can say that I'm afraid,
that I'm not fast enough.

I take my time.

I'm in sciences

and i'm wondering if it's what I
want.

Nothing sparks my enthusiasm.

Even in the film
he's just a spectator.

That's my dream.

MARC'S DREAM

I want to close the door on the city
and open it on the country.

THE FUTURE
I don't care about 5 years from now.

not past or future.

I'm not making any plans.

You have to experiment.

I have a lot to learn,

I know.

I'm too young to be oriented.

Anyway, I don't want
to be oriented for now.

I'm in no great hurry
to join the system.

Still too young

To really decide.

I'm not classified.

I don't know
what I want to do exactly.

I'd rather let life drag me around.

A little shack to live in,

that's all I need.

If ever it happens,

I'll be happy anyway.

I'm afraid of
what's going to happen next.

The future doesn't scare me.

I'd like things to remain as simple
as they are now.

An easy life...

I live a confortable life.

Not too much to do,

Work when you have to.

You need money.

When you have money, you travel.

When there is no money left,
you stop, you work.

And so on.

No problems.
Nice life!

In the future, I'd like

to have a small apartment

with flowers, rugs,

cushions,

a dog, an Afghan,

hair, a sitar,

Lots of flowers.

Make love...

Not a lot of money,
enough to eat,

enough stuff to
turn my friends on.

That's it. Every once in a while,

friends would come to see me,

smoke a little.

I don't have many projects,

but I think of the past sometimes.

In France...
A small abbey.

In the attic of a small abbey.

A very, very high attic.

We had animals.
I had a porcupine.

It was fun.

Papa played the piano.

My mother, sweet mother...

I was very happy.

It's only you!

Hi!
- How is it going?

It's going!
How are things?

Not much...

Where did you get those pictures?

Not bad, huh? The middle one...

This one...
- it was fun.

Friends gave it to me.

Nice wall!

Can I offer you...
a little laxative?

Real nice!

Not bad.
It's good.

I see the veins in my nose.

It's groovy.

You say this also?

It's groovy.
- Wow!

Should I play it again?

Play, man...

Sing a little also.

What happens when we leave?

What?

Are we taking him in the car?

We'll put him in a boarding house.

In a boarding house.

A boarding house for porcupines?

I hope we find one.

Stay! Stay here!

If only I could talk to him...
