Synopsis: In a country ruled by a fragile democracy where the police and the military are set on eradicating all threats from the political left, a member of the parliamentary opposition is murdered in the street right after leading a pacifist meeting. The official inquiry into the case is entrusted to a young judge who becomes aware that this was a political crime committed by two hired killers. To entangle things further, an ambitious journalist resorts to unorthodox means to pile up evidence against several members of an extreme right-wing party, while these in turn accuse police and army high officials.
Winner of Best Film Editing, Best Foreign Language Film at the 1970 Academy Award Oscar, Jury Prize and Best Actor for Jean-Louis Trintignant at the Cannes Film Festival in 1969, Best Music at the BAFTA 1970, and many other prizes around the world.
