Plot

In a placeless locale much like the United States in an unspecified time much like the late 1960s, a university student called "A" becomes increasingly radicalized as he believes the campus leftist organization of which he is a member is not militant enough. The dean of the university suspends him for his political activities and his girlfriend Anne dumps him. He joins a Marxist group headed by Despard, a working class factory worker who is fomenting a general strike. The general strike fails and A goes underground as government agents crackdown on radicals.
