Venice: Film Festival – Apres Mai. Apres Mai (Something in the Air) - Olivier Assayas.   Paris, in the early 1970s. Gilles is a young high school student completely swept up in the political and creative effervescence of the times.  Like his schoolmates, he wavers between radical commitment and more personal aspirations.  Passing from sexual relations to artistic revelations on a journey through Italy and ending in London, Gilles and his friends have to make crucial choices in order to find themselves in a tumultuous age.
