Ben has resided in Italy for an extended period, alongside his family, and tirelessly battles against the harsh realities of social racism. At the age of forty-five, he holds a prestigious position at a hospital in Milan, eagerly preparing to compete for the coveted role of head of the gynaecology department, the ultimate achievement of a career that has consumed his entire being. However, everything falls apart when he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Barbara's home, a dear friend who is hopelessly in love with him. Tragically, Barbara meets her untimely demise at the hands of a stranger, right before Ben's eyes. Despite the police's lack of thorough investigation, they unjustly accuse Ben of the murder. Imprisoned in San Vittore prison, awaiting his trial, Ben feels the weight of the social system bearing down upon him. In the face of the authorities' indifference, he embarks on a quest for answers, driven by a burning desire to uncover the truth behind Barbara's tragic death. Was he the intended target? Or is this a personal or racial issue, hiding a deeper, more sinister motive? Sarah, the dedicated defense attorney, is determined to follow every lead, no matter how unconventional, in her relentless pursuit of exonerating an innocent man.
