Paris, spring 1968. Christopher is fully occupied reveling in first lust. Just a short Metro ride away from les evenements, as Toni never ceases to remind him. The adolescent Christopher and his soul mate Toni has sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for life to begin - meaning Sex and Freedom - to travel and choose their own clothes. Then Chris, at thirty, starts to settle comfortably into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily Toni is around to challenge such backsliding.
