Who has never wanted to discover the underground clubs of 1980s England and dance to the early tracks of the pioneers of acid house music? Remember the feverish Saturday nights spent hunting for information in telephone booths, the secret rendezvous organized inside abandoned warehouses, the late-night journeys to unknown destinations while avoiding police checks... This highly physical interactive documentary invites you to be a privileged witness to a musical movement in the making, on the outskirts of Coventry, and to dance to the sound of the first house DJs in the company of several hundred people!
