Retrospective in archives of cultural movements carried by young people since the post-war period, from cinema to music and literature.

In post-war Paris, jazz clubs became the landmark of youth in love with freedom. But the discomfort of young people is embodied for the first time in the cinema in "The fury of living" with James Dean. In the mid-1960s, the Britpop wave, from the Who to the Rolling Stones, exorcised the frustrations of youth. In France, independent cinema, led by Truffaut, is reinventing roles for young women while in the Netherlands the collective of Provos is passionate about ecology. From the hippie movement to the emergence of black pride through the rise of a revolutionary anti-capitalist cinema, the counter-culture accompanies the world rebellion against the backdrop of the Vietnam war. In the 1970s, the economic crisis undermined hopes. At the dawn of the 1980s, the punks explode shouting: "No future!".
