Synopsis

Dany Cage, a story about emancipation" is a 73-minute documentary that traces the birth, life and death of a psychedelic rock club in Luxembourg in the late 60s. This legendary place only existed from 1969 to 1972, but it had a profound effect on the minds of its contemporaries. It was the time of the Vietnam War, Sommer of Love, May ’68 and Woodstock, and young people aspire to more freedom…
This testimonial film, based on a series of interviews with 18 witnesses from the period, archive footage and fictional moments, shows the extent to which music played a decisive role in this process of emancipation.
