1968. The world is on fire and calling for freedom. Authority must bend; everything must change. The same applies to the Wander family, a family living under the grip of a secret. While the eldest daughter Carla wants an abortion, her brother Max is overwhelmed by feelings for a man during the student uprisings in Paris. In the family home in Eindhoven, Suus (16) tries to hold on while their parents seem locked in a frozen relationship. The youngest, Frans (6), seems to keep the family somewhat together.
