Zeven vrienden die in de woelige jaren '60 samen studeerden, zien elkaar na jaren weer op de begrafenis van een vriend. Deze droevige gebeurtenis is de aanleiding om de oude vriendschapsbanden weer aan te halen, maar ook om na te denken over de dood, hun eigen sterfelijkheid en hun verloren onschuld. De vroeger rebelse jongvolwassenen maken nu bijna allemaal deel uit van het establishment. De dood van hun vriend confronteert hen allen op een pijnlijke manier met het verraad van hun vroegere idealen.
