Télé Gaucho

Everything began when camcorders replaced cameras. Suddenly, making TV was within everyone's reach. But Jean-Lou, Yasmina, Victor, Clara, and the others wanted more than just their own TV network - they wanted to start a revolution... Mid 90s. Victor is in his early 20s and an ardent film buff. Misunderstood in his provincial family home, where his folks think Pier Paolo Pasolini is a brand of pasta, his greatest dream is to become a movie director. His life takes an unexpected turn when he's hired by a commercial network in Paris, as runner for a popular TV show. He rents a small room in the big city and soon hooks up with Jean-Lou who runs an anarchist TV station with his colorful crew of vocal left-wingers. And then, just like that, Victor falls in love with Clara, the most off-the-wall, fearless and sexy girl he's ever seen... Together, they will live through five crazy years, from defiant street demonstrations to pirated commercial TV frequencies, from drunken nights to foiled love affairs in an alternative Paris, bubbling with rebellion, originality and wild parties. Five years of an amazing, enchanted parenthesis during which everything seemed possible. (Cinemax)
