In the decade between 1975 and 1985, Juventus established itself as one of the most dominant teams in the history of football, winning national and international trophies and writing indelible pages in the collective memory. But the story of its golden decade is not only one of sporting success: it is a journey through an Italy marked by deep social tensions, terrorism and scandals.
From the local rivalry with Torino during the Years of Lead, when the Red Brigades and far-right terrorism bloodied the country, to the tragedy of Heysel in 1985, Juventus rose as a symbol of excellence and resilience. The arrival of Giovanni Trapattoni on the bench marked the beginning of a technical and psychological revolution, while ‘the Lawyer’ Agnelli and Giampiero Boniperti built a team of legendary champions: Zoff, Scirea, Tardelli, Bettega, and the worldclass foreign stars Platini and Boniek.
During this period, Juventus won league titles, UEFA Cups, and finally the longawaited European Cup, though the triumph was overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium tragedy, which changed European football forever. Through archival footage and exclusive interviews, the
documentary retraces the extraordinary epic of the Old Lady, intertwining her destiny with that of an Italy in transformation.
An epic tale of glory and sorrow, of dreams and downfall, showing how football is never just a game but a mirror of history and society.
