The Sandinista Revolution of 1979 ignited one of the 60’s and 70’s generations’ last hopes of changing the world. Drawing on the magical narrative of some personal diaries, we meet people who, disillusioned by the Spanish transition to democracy, travel to Nicaragua in search of their own Utopia. Meanwhile, other Nicaraguans have dreamed of their own revolution, from the guerrillas in the mountains or from the rebellious cities. The documentary then moves forward 25 years to show the consequences of this Utopia on the next generation, like the shards of a broken mirror image of the revolution.
