Palermo, mid-1990s, a shootout at the market: a boy dies, another is mortally wounded. A police commissioner investigates; a friend of the victims is given the third degree. In the meantime, the commissioner’s depressed wife is obsessed by the kidnapping of young Giuseppe Di Matteo. But not everything is what it seems… a psychological thriller that overturns certainties, loosely inspired by a true story and written – among others – by Alfonso Sabella, a judge involved in the fight against the mafia in Sicily and former councilor for legality of the Municipality of Rome.
