It is 1867, and Rome is ruled by the Pope. Garibaldi's rebels are not far away, and a revolution is brewing to overthrow the Pope's temporal authority. Don Colombo (Nino Manfredi), a papal judge forced to order executions, decides to resign - he knows that the people are stirring and that papal rule is ending, and he feels guilty for his part in the repression. But his decision is delayed by the news that his one sexual liaison, 19 years before, produced a son who, now a revolutionary, is about to be sentenced to death. A powerful man, the judge saves his son (Danilo Mattei), but the boy wants to face the executioner and share the fate of his comrades... (Cinemax)
