Reggio Emilia,Italy, 1969. Thirty young militant communists leave the Communist Party, accusing it of having betrayed the ideals of the ‘Resistenza’, and , together with other young people of anarchic, socialist and catholic extraction, they form ‘l’Appartamento’, a commune where revolutionary dreams are bandied around. From the group of the Appartamento soon emerged the most dangerous terrorists of the future Red Brigades. Autumn 2007. Some of the ‘boys from 1969’ meet up almost 40 years later, at the hill-side restaurant where the group of the ‘Appartamento’ took the fatal decision of engaging in armed combat. They are ex red brigades members, now back to normal life, after spending many years in prison in different parts of Italy.
