Hippies
1969, swinging London. From his apartment in Notting Hill Gate, Ray Purbbs exhibits an'underground' (that is, counter-culture ) magazine, Mouth, aided with his fellow hippies Alex, Jill along with Hugo. Ray is enthusiastic about protest, ludicrously enthused about every fashionable trend and convinced he's (or might be) a big player in the conflict between the Establishment and the alternative society. A Lex - though he comes from a wealthy background and seems more interested in golf than shifting society - is coolness personified, a man he seems to exist outside of reality. Jill embraces the new-found liberty afforded her sex and asserts to completely free love, though this attitude doesn't stretch to her'boyfriend'. Hugo is vague, almost glorious in his obliqueness. Directed by Ray, the quartet comprehensively fail to make the tiniest bit of difference in all they do and jump on every trendy bandwagon. The gang have been pretty useless at everything - in fact, they aren't even good in being hippies.
