‘Camarades’

In the turmoil of May 68, the Gaullist government attempts to neutralize the student wave with a maneuver as cynical as it is brilliant: founding an experimental university far from the cobblestones of Paris. Blending iconic figures of the French Theory with fictional dreamers, the series captures the brilliance of an era where ideas were weapons and utopia felt within reach. A vibrant comedy inviting us to relive the chaos of the University of Vincennes, a place where the student experience was anything but academic.

Created by Benjamin Charbit (Zorro) and Dominique Baumard (The Bureau), Camarades transports us to a sort of Woodstock on the banks of the Seine driven by contagious energy. Featuring a masterful performance by Manon Kneusé —awarded at Series Mania 2026—, the story turns the aftermath of 68 into a playground of infiltrations, power struggles, and high-stakes debates. A smart and audacious proposal offering a fresh look at a unique experiment, recalling a moment when thinking differently changed everything.
