Saint Peter, a reluctant but passionate leader, from the crucifixion of Jesus to his own. The film's first half dramatizes the New Testament's "Acts": early fear, the renewal of Pentecost, Saul's conversion, the decision to baptize pagans, and the Apostles' dispersal. In the second half, an aged Peter goes to Rome to join Paul, arriving on the day of Paul's arrest. Paul's death brings a crisis to Rome's Christians and to Peter; lessons from Jesus's teachings guide his decision to stay. Events within the fictive household of Persius, a Roman aristocrat, capture the upheaval that Christian teachings bring to the Eternal City.

Rocco, a former boxer disappointed by life and his profession, and Ben, an undocumented immigrant in Italy who barely manages to earn enough money for a sandwich and to pay the rent for a cot, tell a story of sport, friendship, and social redemption.

The Rondinone family owns a farm near Matera. The illness of one of the family members leads to tensions, with arguments over the inheritance and the decision to sell. Eleven-year-old Pinuccio has a plan to reunite his family.

An unbelievable coincidence, a conclusion based on unconfirmed news, a media and social short circuit. The effects can be devastanting, a life can be completely riuned. Even that of a success man, even that of a surgeon who is trating small bodies affected by the most terrible ills. This is a tragedy that is born from suspicion. Sergio is suspected of being a brutal seriel killer, someone who has been killing for years in a rich provincial city. A tragedy, a black hole that suddendly sucks down all our certains, one by one. This is the worst nightmare that could possibly happen to anyone of us. And infact it happens to Sergio. Voices and insinuations are more dangerous than a sentence. Suspicion spreads more quickly than the penal code and it will ruin a man's reputation. With no appeal allowed.
