Born in 68 (original title: Nés en 68) is a 2008 French drama film directed by Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau. The film has the sub-title 'Nous nous aimerons jusqu'à la mort' ('We will love each other until death').
In 1968 Catherine, Yves and Hervé are 20, all students in Paris; the May revolt up-ends their lives. They attempt to form their own community with friends on an abandoned farm in the Lot. Their need for freedom and individual fulfilment leads them to make choices which separates them in the end with Catherine alone remaining at the farm. In 1989 the children of Catherine and Yves become adults in a world that has profoundly changed: with the end of communism and the AIDS epidemic, they revisit the militant legacy of the previous generation. Much like their parents before them, they begin to question the generation that preceded them, while fighting for a better world than the one into which they were born.
Originally finished as two 100-minute episodes which were scheduled on Arte, and France 2 during 2009, a 170-minute shorter version was offered to the Cannes Film Festival organizers, in relation to the 40th anniversary of the 1968 events.[4] A DVD of this cinema version was released in 2010.[5]
