Synopsis

It’s the summer of 1969. The world is changing fast, and a year of intense social upheaval has just ended. 12-year-old Frisson feels the spirit of discovery awakening inside. He wants to live in the country with his hero, outlaw biker Tom Faucher. He gets along with his friend, big Thibault, and makes trouble. Frisson believes he can meet Hendrix at Woodstock and get his autograph. Against the backdrop of the Age of Aquarius and the first lunar landing, he slowly grows up during the journey by discovering the joys and disappointments of desire, friendship, and love.
