Zgodnja osemdeseta. Med sicilijanskimi mafijskimi šefi divja vojna za nadzor nad trgovino s heroinom. Iz skrivališča v Braziliji mafijec Tommaso Buscetta opazuje, kako doma pobijajo njegove sorodnike, vedoč, da bo sam morda naslednji. Ko ga brazilska policija aretira in pošlje v Italijo, Buscetta sprejme odločitev, ki bo za vedno spremenila zgodovino mafije: srečal se bo s sodnikom Giovannijem Falconejem in prelomil prisego, ki jo je dal cosi nostri.
Italy, early '90s. Calm, clever and inscrutable, politician Giulio Andreotti has been synonymous with power for decades. He has survived everything: electoral battles, terrorist massacres, loss of friends, slanderous accusations; but now certain repentant mobsters implicate him in the crimes of Cosa Nostra.
Palermo, Sicily, 1984. Examining magistrate Giovanni Falcone allies with Tomasso Buscetta, a former mobster, to defeat the clan of Corleone, the ruthless Mafia faction that rules Cosa Nostra with an iron hand, cruelly eliminating all those who dare to oppose its immense power: other criminals, policemen, judges, even innocent civilians. One of them wants revenge, the other wants justice. But only one can survive such an unequal fight.
Docu-fiction that tells the story of Libero Grassi, the months in which he broke the silence, the silence in which he found himself isolated, until he became an easy target for a mafia clan.
In the late-80s and early-90s, two prosecutors went after the mob in Sicily. Archival footage, gruesome photographs and new interviews are shown.
