Una serie de atroces crímenes conmocionan Roma en plena época fascista: unas niñas pequeñas han sido asesinadas después de haber sido víctimas de abusos sexuales. El autor es un joven al que encubre su familia. Mussolini, que había prometido orden y disciplina, se encuentra en la necesidad imperiosa de encontrar un culpable, un chivo expiatorio, para calmar al pueblo. Al mismo tiempo, los crímenes sirven de coartada para aprobar la pena de muerte contando con el respaldo popular. (FILMAFFINITY)
