   A Rai series produced by Lorenzo Mieli for The Apartment, a company of the Fremantle group, with Simone Gattoni for Kavac Film, in collaboration with Rai Fiction, in co-production with ArteFrance.

The international distributor is Fremantle.


   "It is not surprising that Thierry Frémaux chose to present this work to Cannes" - comments Andrea Occhipinti - "What Marco Bellocchio has created is a true masterpiece. The story of a crucial moment in the history of our country and beyond, of a generation, of a family, a man. A great, thrilling and tremendously current film ".


   The story is the tragic one of the Moro case, in Italy in 1978: on one side the Red Brigades and on the other the State.

Violence in the square, kidnappings, gambling, gun fights, attacks.


   A government supported by the Communist Party (PCI), in alliance with the historic conservative bulwark, the Christian Democrats (DC), is about to take office for the first time in a Western country.

Aldo Moro, the President of the DC, is the main proponent of this agreement.

On the very day of the government's inauguration, March 16, 1978, Aldo Moro is kidnapped and the inter-escort annihilated.

It is a direct attack on the heart of the state.

His imprisonment will last fifty-five days, punctuated by the letters of Moro and by the communiqués of the Red Brigades: fifty-five days of hope, fear, negotiations, failures.

His body will be abandoned in a Renault 4 in Via Caetani in Rome, halfway between the headquarters of the DC and that of the PCI.
