In the night of November 2, 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini allegedly was with Pino Pelosi, then 17-year-old, in a parked car, when he was brutally beaten by five men, and then run over by a car. Thirty years later, still imprisoned as the single person condemned for being an accessory to murder, a camera visits Pelosi. Speaking straight to the camera, the man answers straight questions, sometimes with faltering voice. He accepts having had an intimate relationship with Pasolini, and being the last person who saw him alive (besides the Mafia-related Borsellino brothers, and three undisclosed men), but denies his story to the police. The camera also shows the documents (Pasolini's and Pelosi's clothing the night of the murder; crime scene still photos) kept in the criminal court's archive.
