However, the five follow very different approaches. The philosophy student Véronique (Anne Wiazemsky) pleads for the use of violence.

"From the many films by Jean-Luc Godard, Sooner has selected exactly one single film, and that is the one that media researcher Rembert Hüser would "take to the proverbial island.
