In this flat we show how these changes in society in the mid 1960s is mirrored in the home. On the TV-screen we show the news-broadcast from the day the labour prime-minister Einar Gerhardsen handed over his office to his non-socialist successor, after 20 years of social-democratic rule. But the TV has to compete with the roaring sound of the Rolling Stones from the record player in the teenager's room.
