Against the background of the 1978 French elections in which it was thought that the left would win outright for the first time, Rubbo takes an informal look at certain Parisian intellectuals, most notably the so-called New Philosophers. They are former leftist activists who had turned their backs on Marxism, their thinking influenced by Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Rubbo, adopting the role of the policital niaf in Paris, is assisted by Paris-based political corresopondent Louis-Bernard Robitaille |
