Two men are shot during a hunt near an Italian seaside village. Their fellow citizens, whose behavior and very consciousness are thoroughly permeated by the existence of the Mafia, consider the murder a crime of passion. Idealistic Prof. Laurana (Gian Maria Volonté), however, willfully puts forth another theory. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
