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, 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.In the focus of this multinational documentary film are the life paths and fates of Joseph Almudever and his brother Vincent Almudever (France), Giovanni Pesce and his wife Onorina Pesce (Italy), Rosario Sanchez Mora (Spain), Herman Scheerboom (Netherlands), Kurt Goldstein (Germany) and Gerhard Hoffmann (Austria).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.

70 years after the beginning of the Spanish Civil War the last still living international volunteers, who fought for freedom and democracy and against General Franco and Fascism, return to Spain. The Brigadistas, 36 men and women – the youngest 86, the eldest 99 years old – set out on a journey that leads them from Madrid to Barcelona and all over Spain. This is the last journey for many of them and the Brigadistas know it. They report their experiences and want to pass on their ideas and ideals. BRIGADISTAS is an intensive portrait of these people, the film paints a picture in which enthusiasm and pensiveness find their space.
