Synopsis of the Film: A journey through the changes of the movement to combat youth in Italy by l '68 today. A 'lucid and sharp analysis through the eyes of the great writer and intellectual Erri De Luca.
'68, The birth of the movement el 'experience of a country and an entire
generation of insurgents.
A movement of young people struggling for an emergency world shaken by reasons justice rather than by ultimate goals of power in a country highly sensitive, which welcomed the revolutionaries all over the world and fed the largest Communist Party of the West.
The reality today. The portrait of a country, apparently still in
"Homes of democracy," but from the social reality of insecure, in which the game is maintained by those who know better manage fears, in which the distinctions between the system and opposition are confused. Country disoriented, unable to react to the degradation and
a monarch elected plebiscite. A country scared, like Punchinello even snails
