A quiet, sombre return to a postwar village, where old wounds and unspoken truths slowly surface in patient, talk-heavy scenes.

At the same time, party official Andrea Cipriani, who had to leave Italy during the war but is now welcomed back as a hero, also arrives. Andrea is the son of Luca's best friend. Luca's conviction was the first traumatic experience of his life. He is therefore determined to solve the mystery of why Luca did not defend himself at all during his trial, despite his innocence.
