Twenty young actors are brought together in a laboratory by directors Véronique and Gabrielle Côté to create a collective work for one of the great national theaters. Over the course of a full year, they delve into contemporary Quebec poetry with the goal of drawing out the "spirit of time". In the workshop and in the four corners of the country, we are witnessing the process of bringing "Je me soulève" to life. What kind of people will we be in the future? What can art do to transform the world? Will we still be able to make children? Insurgent, inhabited by the fervor of those who dream of beauty, obeying only their intuition, they erect an ode to life. And when - as if by magic! - one of their own is elected to the National Assembly of Quebec, poetry is literally involved in the political life of the country.
