Accio is the youngest son of a working-class Italian family who, on his own initiative, will try to fulfil himself going away from the traditions he has brought up with. After having spent some time in the seminary and having left it, he will see in the neo-fascist party the way to come out against his precarious situation. This will be the main centre of discussion through the film, as the older brother of Accio, Manrico, is a real left-wing leader in his community and he will not accept his ideology easily. Finally, they both will realize that the political tendency should not be an obstacle between them, and that thinking over and about what they are making is probably better for them.
In short, is a story that, far from trying to indoctrinate us, shows us easily two confronted viewpoints of the life, even though they have the same origins and have the same aims. It gives us the chance of thinking of the dialogue, of trying to understand attitude belonging to other people, of living together with people who, fortunately, are different to us. Maybe, and in spite of everything, the key to improve our own situation is not to face up to the world, but making a little revolution near our environment and with which we will probably get benefit faster and more directly.
