Documentary about the history of the Tupamaros, one of Latin America's most well-known guerrilla movements. The directors interviewed the former fighters about their past and present lives. The protagonists of the revolution tell about their exploits and experiences without glorification but with a sense of humour ans a wisdom all of their own. The former guerrilleros haven't betrayed their old ideals but are trying to realize them by political ans peaceful means.
