In 2019, there will be three events of historic significance for South Tyrol. With the peace treaty of St. Germain, signed on September 10, 1919, South Tyrol was finally awarded to the victorious power of Italy after the First World War. 20 years later, until the end of 1939, the South Tyroleans had to decide between staying in Italian-speaking South Tyrol or emigrating to the German Reich. This so-called option, a pact between Hitler and Mussolini, left, like Italian fascism, deep traces within the families, which have an effect to this day. At the end of November 1969, in turn, the so-called package was adopted, preceded by years of tough negotiations between Austria and Italy and years of terrorism. The agreement with a total of 137 measures to better protect the minority finally ushered in South Tyrol's autonomy, which today is described as exemplary throughout the world.

This film wants to make its contribution to the European spirit in the small-sized area on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of St. Germain, 80 years South Tyrolean option and 50 years of package closure.

 The TV and cinema documentary is not primarily a retrospective. The focus is on young South Tyroleans, who will shape the future of this borderland. The film sets out with these protagonists in search of the South Tyrolean identity of the present.
