Мирко и Маноло — два друга с окраины Рима. Хорошие ребята — до того момента, как сбивают поздней ночью человека и решают смыться с места происшествия. Трагедия оборачивается на первый взгляд удачей. Поскольку погибший был местным преступником, «сдавшим» свой клан, молодые люди получают положение в криминальной среде, уважение и деньги, которых никогда не видели прежде. Но пропуск в рай окажется для них билетом в ад.

A journey inside the most sensational exploits of the forgotten post–WWII Italian underworld. Thirty years of crime told through first-hand accounts, reenactments, old movies, news and other archive footage—painting the portrait of a country undergoing major social changes.

After the 8th September 1943 north of Italy is occupied by Germans. Italian army collapsed and the soldiers are escaped to the mountains trying to set up a resistance. Many civilians did the same and Johnny, an English literature student, is among them. Johnny avoids to band together the red partisans (communists) and tries to be part of the azure bands (former regular soldiers). But in both cases he is deluded by the partisan bands and discovers that the partisan war is less poetic and genuine that he thought. At one point anyway the partisans free Alba from Germans. When the city falls again in German hands Johnny escape with Ettore and Pierre. But, one after another, German army and Italian fascists captures the partisans and Johnny will pass the winter alone and isolated. He then finds the way to participate to one of the last attack to occupants, in fact the war will be over two months later.

When his best friend, a cripple, takes his life and his wife abandons him Felice decides to die himself. In the second segment two kidnappings in Sicily, the second of which took place a century before the present one, are compared.
