Synopsis

In the wake of Greta Thunberg, a fight has been waged and carried out for a few months by the youth for the protection of our planet. At the front of the processions, on the front of the media and on social networks, young women have become, sometimes in spite of themselves, the leading figures of this movement. Who are these women Why are they so acclaimed and denounced at the same time? The film tells the story of these committed young women, each in their own way, but all carried by a unique energy capable of moving mountains. Then a collective journey of “combatants” is drawn, carried by hope, commitment and an extraordinary ideal.
