After the arrests of the male leaders, their voice took power within the organization, also influenced by the role of martyrs, shouting "blood, honor, Golden Dawn".To explain different points of view, the documentary follows three different generations with a very different past, such Dafni, who became a member of some left-wing parties: "When I was young, I had totally different political ideas.
