Synopsis A journey into Milan and Italy in the 1970s through archive images of a militant film and the testimony, collected today, of Vittorio Alfieri, former head of the Milanese column of the Red Brigades. From militant Catholicism to factory initiatives, from the armed struggle to life in prison, a glimpse of a forgotten history and a crucial period, which it is still vital to come to terms with.
