This conspirative police thriller points out corruption in the Italian police and justice and the interconnection of organised crime with high state institutions. This story about an ordinary policeman who becomes a judges' bodyguard is among others a psychological study of the fear of mafia practices in the Italian society. (Summer Film School)
