An invitation to visit the clandestine houses that still exist today: places where men and women tell us their startling lives and their stories of resistance. Where they organised the fight, hid a fugitive companion or published the newspaper and the informative sheet that would then unexpectedly appear under the door or inside a school bag.

These are “normal houses” that still constitute, today, marks of the anti-fascist resistance.

Coordination by Vanessa Almeida.

A tribute to the generation of fathers and mothers born in the 1930s who, without seeking a place in history, political or any other kind of protagonism, never resigned, risked their lives, went to prison, went into exile, and were persecuted so that we can live today in a better country.
