This is an extremely empathetic but also honest portrait of young activists working to save the world from a climactic Apocalypse. We observe the teenagers during spectacular actions, but also in moments of doubt, when loneliness in the face of a great challenge replaces the euphoric sense of community. Dynamic shots of the roadblocks, documenting the police brutality, share the screen with a careful observation of coming of age. What is the essence of activism? How much can you sacrifice for the good of The Cause with a capital "C"? Young activists approach the issue of freedom and commitment with remarkable maturity. Their prudence, determination and true sense of community offer hope that the Earth still has a future.
