This Italian thriller is based on the true story of a young Sicilian public prosecutor murdered in 1990. The young magistrate Rosario is considered a revolutionary in his hometown of Canicatti, which is largely run by the Mafia. He is a serious young man, deeply religious and devoted to his parents with whom he still lives. He firmly believes that justice must prevail no matter what the cost. He does not hesitate to defy public opinion in his quest for justice. His parents fear for him. His boss is irritated by him. Fearing an early death, he dumps his fiance, Angela. So rigid a straight arrow is he, that even the other young prosecutors avoid him. Rosario is eventually gunned down by Mafioso Renato Carpentieri's henchmen. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Carlino is an insufferable young teenager who is convinced that his father is really his stepfather. Surely he is the son of one of his mother's former lovers, a much more glamorous character. The only person in the family he feels much connection to is his older sister, and she has just gotten married. When his parents send him to a Catholic boarding school and he becomes the headmaster's favorite whipping-boy, he runs away to his sister's home. However, the kind of bickering he sees between his sister and her new husband is so distasteful that he finds boarding school, for all its drawbacks, is much more attractive. On his Christmas break he learns that his mother's old flame was sterile, and that his father really was his father. This is revealed at the same time that his sister reveals she is divorcing her new husband as they have both found new lovers. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
