Through the images and the original soundtracks of material conserved at the Archivio Luce, the film is a reflection on the mechanisms behind the consensus-creating factory that was set in motion by Fascism. Just like the regime prepared young boys and girls to become good Fascist citizens, it constructed the image of a nation crucial to maintain international equilibrium, as it glorified its leader and his philosophy.
