NO PASARAN A story of men and women who fought against Fascism. "What did you fight for?" This question makes the 96-years old Austrian Gerhard Hoffmann, a veteran of the Spanish Civil War and of the Second World War who had been fighting against Fascism and for a better, free society, very thoughtful: „You can’t describe that in a few words.". NO PASARAN is looking for answers: The film goes on a journey across Europe to meet the last contemporary witnesses of these wars. When they were volunteering to join
the fight, they all were teenagers. But nobody of them expected a 10 years´ odyssey over the battlefields of Europe and through the fascist concentration or extermination camps until the return back home.
