68, year zero retraces the journeys of six Europeans: a high school student from Turin who became an activist in Lotta Continua and a feminist; a Parisian Maoist student “established” at the Peugeot factories; a Peugeot worker involved in the May-June 68 sit-down strike and union activist; a young German immersed in student protest who will engage in the feminist and environmentalist fight; a Czechoslovakian couple who, after experiencing the Prague Spring, will speak out against the Soviet invasion and the "normalization" regime at the cost of years of imprisonment... Six life journeys that bear witness to the incandescence of "68 years", but also of their future and their legacy.
