CONTADORES

A group of libertarian militants spend a night in 1978 printing a leaflet. The agreement for the metal industry of the province of Gipuzkoa is about to be signed and they defend the need to continue the struggle. While writing and printing the leaflet, they reflect on personal relationships and speculate on communal living.

But the growing unionization of the workers' movement has taken away the influence they once had, moving their radical political project into irrelevance.
