A deeply personal documentary meditation on loss, brotherhood, and a final conversation frozen in time during the turbulent 1960s.

"Marx can wait" was something Camillo Bellocchio said to his twin Marco the last time they met before the former died at a young age in the heated days of 1968. This documentary is dedicated to his memory.
