Era d'estate
Judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino would eventually fall at the hands of Italy’s Cosa Nostra in 1992. However, before that, in 1985, they were preparing for the ‘Mafia Maxi Trial’ when a tip-off of a planned attack against their families sees them taken to an island in Sardinia to wait out the threat. This situation, somewhere between a forced vacation and witness protection, sees the men delve further into their work, the retreat allowing them to hone their case. Fate, however, is not to be escaped, and all too soon danger returns.
A heavy, atmospheric drama that feels like a ticking clock. It’s a somber, introspective look at duty and sacrifice, steeped in the oppressive heat of an Italian summer. The tension simmers beneath the surface, a constant reminder of inescapable fate.
