The start of the 20th century. Benito Mussolini, a young socialist revolutionary, meets Ida Dalser, a woman as passionate as himself, who ends up supporting him in his political struggle, even when he changes course and replaces socialism with fascism.
First Julián Casanova will give a brief presentation and after the screening there will be a question and answer session.
