영화는 줄리오 안드레오티의 삶을 연대기 순으로 그리거나 각 사건들을 친절하게 설명하지 않는다. 대신 주요 사건들을 간략하게 묘사하고 안드레오티의 모호한 행동들을 더 자세하게 보여주며 그의 복잡한 내면을 포착하려 한다. 영화의 시작과 함께 1978년 좌파혁명단체인 붉은 여단이 이탈리아의 전 총리 알도 모로를 납치해 몸값을 요구했다가 당시 총리였던 줄리오 안드레오티가 이를 거부하자 알도 모로를 살해했다는 정보가 자막으로 등장한다. 그리고 영화는 다음 장면에서 구체적인 맥락을 알려주지 않은 채 암살로 사망하는 사람들을 연속적으로 보여주며 안드레오티의 정치 인생이 피로 얼룩져 있음을 보여준다. 줄리오 안드레오티는 총리와 장관을 여러 번 거친 거물 정치인이다. 그는 정치적 동료들과 함께 작은 방에 모여 앉아 항상 누가 누구의 편인지 대화를 나누며 자신의 정치 권력을 공고히 한다. 그 와중에 안드레오티의 심기를 거스른 것으로 보이는 사람들은 계속해서 암살을 당한다. 한편 검찰은 안드레오티와 마피아의 연관을 본격적으로 조사하기 시작한다. 즉 안드레오티가 정치적 반대편을 제거하기 위해 마피아와 손을 잡고 암살을 사주해왔다는 것이다. 결국 각각 다른 혐의로 재판들이 열리지만 그는 모든 혐의를 부인하고 증거 부족으로 재판들은 하나둘씩 기각된다.

This film depicts three episodes in the life of the highly eccentric, unabashedly homosexual Italian filmmaker Per Paolo Pasolini. Pasolini was best known to Americans for his film The Gospel According to St. Matthew. However, in his native Italy, he was at least as well known for his writing and poetry as for his filmmaking. In the first episode, Pasolini (Marco Cavicchioli) waxes poetic about the beauty of young men during a visit to Sicily. The second and more interesting segment concerns a meeting with a young man who visits Pasolini thinking that though he is an old has-been, Pasolini may be able to do him a favor. Pasolini twigs to the boy's intentions, and a sparring session ensues. The final episode shows him picking up a young man at Rome's train station and the events that led to his beating death in 1975.

In 1967 the director Vittorio Cottafavi produces the TV movie Le Troiane from Euripides. He uses the classical Italian translation by Enzio Cetrangolo, but creates an original way of film adaptation, inspired by the Brechtian conception of staging the ancient theater. He does not use costume or set design, but is based only on the simple performance of the actors, highlighted by the shooting technique. The absolute sense of tragedy is perceived by the public through emotional engagement and imagination. So, the Trojan war is all the wars and the pain of the Trojan women is the pain of all the victims of any war.
