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
