"The ambition of this film is to be part of a social reflection and contemporary policy, embodying the legitimate concerns of a part of young society (...) and its anger with politics. Audrey is not to all intents and purposes a rebel. What makes her extraordinary is her shift, the distance from her original setting. Out of step in the environments she discovers, she reveals their failures and hypocrisies. (...) It is within the GRAL that she discovers a place, a little world with shaky foundations where there is a mix, in discourse and in actions, there is a mix of disenchantment and idealism. (...) It is also a laboratory for mythical possibilities, such as self-determination and egalitarian living, with the eternal political questions (...) that Audrey and her friends decide to answer through clumsy, dangerous and almost suicidal actions" Bénédicte Pagnot.
