During the 2004 electoral campaign, before the left came to power for the first time ever in the history of Uruguay, a film crew sets out to record the opinions of young people who are going to vote for the left, and to find out what they think about politics, militant action, the left wing parties and citizen participation. Under the impact of today's global economic slowdown and political crisis, stereotypes of militant action have changed since May 1968 and the utopian thought of the 1970s, and in this documentary some of these new forms of political thought find expression.

At the time of the dictatorship in Uruguay, the University was one of the main centres of repression and a channel for the dissemination of state ideology. The institution's freedoms and rights that had been won through the process of autonomy and co-government were revoked. This documentary shows us university students during that period, their activist strategies, their struggles for participation, and the long road they travelled before finally playing an important role in the transition to democracy.
