One morning in 1968, New York woke up to a new slogan: “Expect the Unexpected”. It was a slogan of a new campaign for the Village Voice. And it was to become the slogan of sixties New York. It was a time of a cultural revolution: the anti-segregation movement, political riots and anti-Vietnam war protests, but also Peace and Love, the Rock revolution, the miniskirt. New York was in the center and every day you could… expect the unexpected. The author of this slogan was a young French artist Tomi Ungerer. He not only designed the Village Voice campaign and many others, he also published a dozen books for children, created political posters and wrote social satire. This film takes you on a journey to the New York and the America of the 60s with a very unique guide – Tomi Ungerer. He brings us back to the heart of what would be called the golden age of American culture. But it's not a nostalgic trip. Instead, it's an explanation of the forces that shaped today's America and predicts how the US will develop in future.
