Synopsis:


Revolution is a documentary musical about the 70’s generation’s fight for a better world. Socialism seemed like a real alternative. The movement offered a whole unified world where it would be easy to be on the right side – against anything old and reactionary. Songs played a central role in this revolution. Hundreds of song groups sprung up. The songs told stories of battles, solidarity, socialism, Vietnam, Chile. Now middle-aged former revolutionaries return to their combat songs, singing in the environments revealing their present status and work places. Music creates some distance and in many ways, depicts the experiences and spirit of the era. The music also symbolizes the pomposity and rhetoric often so blatantly and comically at odds with reality and everyday life. What has happened to the idealism of youth?
