Description: An aging hipster encounters his misspent youth (1968 to be exact) 20 years after the misspending. By 1988, the current "roll back the clock" mindset was already well-established, and our hero suffers from crushing disappointment, divorce and drug abuse. The plot naturally includes sex, drugs; rock and roll -- even some violence during a Paris riot -- but can't escape a spiritual subtext: is there any power in goodness? The angelic female lead works strange "miracles." Why can't I?--amazon
