The Anarchist

Five people are connected through an apocryphal story a decade ago a group of anarchists from the US stole Leon Trotskys ashes from their resting place in Mexico This central narrative is articulated through those of a Mexican activist lawyer a Greek professional couple a Tunisian journalist and a Kurdish student Each has some connection to international networks of solidarity and activism which for some are now in the past Filmed in New York Marseille and Athens their separate recollections converge in a portrait of the tensions between the personal and the political today
