Synopsis:
"What did you fight for?" This question makes the 96 years-old Austrian Gerhard Hoffmann, a former member of the Internationale Brigades and the French Résistance, who had been fighting against Fascism, very thoughtful: "How can I tell you this in a few words?" NO PASARAN goes out in search of answers on a journey across Europe to meet the last contemporary witnesses, their life paths and fates.
