- Synopsis
- The year is 1989 and a 35 year old man is telling his story from a dark prison cell in Turin. The prisoner is Sergio Segio, one of the founders of the armed left-wing group Prima Linea (Front Line), who went underground in the mid-1970s in hope of achieving the “revolutionary dream”. The story follows Sergio’s relationship with girlfriend Susanna through years of wartime and how he conspires to free her from prison after her arrest. Shining a light on the inner workings of a terrorist organisation, this timely story is one of passion, love, hate, sorrow and courage.
