Overview

What were the young people doing during this beautiful summer of 1972? A survey takes us to the side of the working world and its summer topography: Stella-Plage in Pas de Calais for the lucky ones or Aubigny au Bac, near Cambrai, for others... Film very post-soixante-huitard, Congés Payés is also a documentary on a certain way of making activist films. Despite the inherent flaws of this particular genre, in addition to its content, the film had been noticed by ISKRA Films for its aesthetic concerns and its research at the level of writing.
