Comrades

Simone, Francesca, and Olivia are young members of the Communist Refoundation Party. Despite different personalities and backgrounds, they participate in demonstrations, meetings, and support each other.
They search for ways to organize the world, find work, and help them feel like a part of a community. However, senior Party members are only concerned with the past, sabotaging any attempts to change.

Their disenchantment with the Party coincides with personal crises. From one side Simone’s sense of helplessness and the death of his mother, and Francesca’s family problems from the other side make them drift away from the organization and each other. Olivia, impatient with her colleagues’ inertia, joins a left-wing militia. Soon she finds out she got involved with dangerous people.
