SYNOPSIS

This film tells a forgotten story: that of the young Ticino militant Bruno Bréguet who, within a few years, came into contact with the main groups linked to the armed struggle. Bréguet's story is particularly emblematic and recounts a historical period in which youth, even in Switzerland, for the first time rebelled against injustices occurring all over the world. Through encounters with comrades in the struggle, friends and through the reflections of some experts, the filmmaker passionately investigates not only history, but an existential enquiry that reflects on the meaning of militancy, its limits and the desire to change the world. An aspiration that persists, in different forms, to this day.
