À l’Inviolata, un hameau agricole de Lombardie resté à l’écart du monde et du modernisme, règne la marquise Alfonsina de Luna. Elle vit dans une demeure décrépite et impose à 54 paysans, hommes, femmes et enfants, un servage de type médiéval à la technologie rudimentaire, et assume ouvertement cet esclavage avec l'aide zélée d'un comptable malhonnête, au prétexte que le peuple accepte la soumission. Lazzaro, un jeune paysan naïf et plein de bonté, lui aussi exploité par ses pairs, travaille dur sans protester. Il rencontre Tancredi, fils d'Alfonsina, jeune noble arrogant qui s’ennuie dans ce monde autarcique. Par jeu, Tancredi organise son propre enlèvement en demandant une rançon à sa mère pour fuir vers la ville. L'aide de Lazzaro à Tancredi scelle leur amitié.

The film traces the last hours of the life of poet and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini. The poet is killed at night in 1975 on the beach at Ostia, near Rome. A boy is arrested: Pino Pelosi, and charged with murder. The police and judges believe that Pelosi is the only murderer of Pasolini, but his injuries on the body of the poet are too severe and profound. Then are called to bear witness to the death of the poet his sister and his mother, destroyed by grief. As the process unfolds, the film examines the personality of Pasolini, and his works and, above all explains what people think of him in Italy. Pasolini according to some Italians was a provocative man: he deserved what he suffered, having been a Communist and a homosexual. Instead, his friends and intellectuals remember him as a very good and sensible man, who sought only to fight against neo-fascism and the cruel and bigoted mentality of middle-class society.
