Marcel: You know whales are one of the few, animals with inexpressive voices? When a dog or a cat express themselves, they bark or meow expressively. But whales only make coded noises. With mathematics we may soon understand them. Do you know what some sailors found near Kamchatka? Unknown big pink island. And uncharted. Know what they were? Shrimps. Immense pile of shrimps! Shrimp islands. And do you know why? Why we're going to eat shrimps three times a day? With dessert and with coffee? Because whales are killed for lipstick. And since whales eat scrimps but can't since they're all killed, we'll all die of indigestion from scrimps. And a good thing too.

Tanner's whole film is a complex example of how all these 68er people, now in a post-revolutionary confusion, try to understand the structure of time and their own position in it. Social critique philosophy is always existentialism, not on the trivial reason that a society consists of individuals, but because Being differs from existence by including the component of time into reflection. Since time cannot be structured by an individual alone, conflicts emerge, and conflicts are usually "solved" with fights and battles - as we know from history. However, a society in which conflicts can be analyzed into theses and anti-theses in order to be neutralized in syntheses, would be a society that is conscious that history starts with a metaphysics of time - as taught in the movie by Marcel. But Marcel loses his job, teaches in an old age home the "Temps Des Cerises", and history still starts with the enumeration of single battles - we have still not learned that the topic of history is not the fragile product of mankind - but the time and its structure.
