Reality so often neglected by the audiovisual material based on the Fascist regim, the elementary school has represented for million of young Italians the true first contact with the Regime propaganda. The fascist education proposed a dark and predestined vision of life, in sharp contrast with its real perception from the young students growing in men. Through the creative use of the rich material of archive footages and the meeting with some ex-students of an elementary school in Turin, the documentary proposes the suggestions of an epoch in which the school was not so different from the present time.
