    • Synopsis
    • The island of Asinara, Sardinia 1985. On a night like so many others, Giovanni Falcone and
      Paolo Borsellino disembark on the island with their families. Quick and sudden, this move
      was due to the murders the Mafia was committing at that time. In danger, Giovanni and Paolo
      are secured in a location where no one can attack them. It is a hot summer and in their small
      lodgings the two magistrates live in close contact with their families. The situation hampers
      their work, but regardless of everything, they press ahead with determination. But on the
      other hand, there are two wives – Francesca and Agnese – who cannot conceal their
      concern, their fear. They know their husbands will never stop fighting for their ideals. Thus
      begins a long month of nights spent watching the sea, hoping for the thoughts to pass from
      their minds so they can enjoy a small bit of carefree life. Giovanni, Francesca, Paolo, and
      Agnese will thus come to know each other, even in their weaknesses, unaware of being
      united – all four of them – by the inexorable fate awaiting them in 1992
