Tant qu'il pleut en Amérique

Jean-Luc and his old gang of 1968 pacifists, now in their seventies, reunite to make a film protesting against Swiss military export. After blowing up an arms factory they are brought to justice, but many hail them as heroes.

Told episodically and bordering between the fictional and the documental, the film intimately interweaves the life stories of young women who no longer have a real home with their own families. They are given refuge in a temporary youth home, where they and their carers bond to form a new family. La Mif is a safe haven for wounded protagonists who do not spare themselves or others.
