Plot

Italy, 1968. Aspiring actor Nicola enrolls in the police to pay for his studies, ending up undercover among college students protesting the government, the Vietnam War and the values of their parents' generation.

Sinekatalog’s take

An Italian drama set in 1968 about an aspiring actor turned cop who infiltrates student protests. Energetic and nostalgic, torn between love and duty. Good for viewers interested in the political ferment of that year.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
