Palerme, Sicile, Italie, 2017. Vingt-cinq ans après les assassinats des juges antimafia Giovanni Falcone (23 mai 1992) et Paolo Borsellino (19 juillet 1992), et à l'occasion des hommages rendus à la mémoire des deux héros, la photographe Letizia Battaglia, chroniqueuse de leur lutte titanesque, critique l'opportunisme de personnages louches comme l'homme d'affaires Ciccio Mira, qui profitent de la commémoration des deux tragédies.

This film tells the story of three defeats: Berlusconi’s political and human defeat in his “twilight”, the one of Ciccio Mirra, Berlusconi’s unconditional supporter, deeply rooted in an ancient culture that dies hard, and the director’s artistic defeat in an Italy that recognised itself in this “Berlusconian culture” for a long time, and probably still does.
