What has changed, what has remained? What hopes, what new horizons, perspectives, paths to a new freedom, what cultures of life emerged in the 1960s? Ways of communication, living conditions, music and literature, culture and politics changed. How did individuals react to this? With what feelings did they grow into the new era? During two semesters, students of senior studies at the LMU Munich worked in project groups to transform their experiences into autobiographical, literary texts. And came up with unusual results: Many things were different than one assumes today. The usual image of the time that prevails today is put into perspective, individualized in the exciting life narratives, which at first glance seem commonplace, but are unique. An afternoon with special moments.
