Alice's Restaurant (1969)
Arlo hat keine Lust auf den Vietnamkrieg, zu dem er eingezogen werden soll, und versucht statt dessen, in einem College unterzukommen. Da ihm selbst dort im Musikunterricht jede fantasievolle Idee ausgetrieben wird, trampt er rasch weiter nach Westen. In einer Kneipe wird er wegen seiner langen Haare verprügelt. Schließlich besucht Arlo seine Freunde Ray und Alice, die eine ehemalige Kirche in eine Hippie-Kommune verwandelt haben. Die Kirche wird zum Treffpunkt der Blumenkinder, einem Platz zum Feiern, Singen, Lieben und Diskutieren. Alice hat inzwischen neben der Kirche auch ein Restaurant eröffnet. Doch als sie sich in Rays Jugendfreund, den psychisch labilen Ex-Junkie Shelly verliebt, gerät ihre Beziehung mit Ray in eine Krise. Auf das Idyll der Blumenkinder-Gemeinde fallen indes dunkle Schatten.
