After speaking at a rally, a left-wing politician is attacked and later dies. The police, who viewed the politician as a threat to society, call the incident an accident. Even when the two perpetrators are caught the police minimize the charge. However, the investigating magistrate is determined to discover the truth.
A powerful, profound film that examines topics like injustice, fascism and high-level criminality.
It initially didn't look like it was going to be that great though. The first hour is sluggish and unengaging, just detailing events. While you empathise with the victims no central character emerges and there's really nobody to support. It looks like it's going to be a rather dry, dull affair.
This changes in the second half as the magistrate gets into his work. The second half is riveting viewing as the pieces fall into place. This leads to a powerful ending that also contains a very profound twist.
Great drama.
