Les matériaux, image et son, non utilisés dans la version définitive de "Chronique d’un été" ont été inventoriés et numérisés en 2008. Le documentaire repose sur ces images inédites enrichies de passionnants entretiens avec les intervenants du film, Edgar Morin, Régis Debray, Jean-Pierre Sergent, Marceline Loridan-Ivens, Nadine Ballot. Leurs propos recueillis en 2010, cinquante ans après le tournage de Chronique d’un été, nous invitent à une nouvelle lecture d’une œuvre qui a contribué à changer l’histoire du cinéma français.
