Massimo Carlotto

In a small Chinese village in Yunnan, a young woman named Xiwen sees her little son Shitou die of poisoning from adulterated food. On the other side of the world, in Italy, Matteo works on behalf of Feng, a multinational based in Hong Kong that traffics counterfeit food. To avoid arrest, Matteo escapes from Italy, saving a precious shipment of Feng's food, and this begins his unscrupulous climb towards success. At a time when he is enjoying the greatest prestige within Feng, Matteo meets Xiwen by chance, who has opened a restaurant in memory of his son and is fighting for the authenticity of food. Neither of them imagines that from that moment their lives will be turned upside down.

After his wife and son are killed, a young man finds out the man behind the murder and fights against him, along committing some big mistakes.

Leftist radical-turned-terrorist Giorgio—hiding out in Latin America since the 1970s—turns himself in as soon as the Berlin Wall falls. Wishing to lead a comfortable, bourgeois life in his native Italy, he cuts a deal with a dirty cop, getting his sentence reduced in return for ratting former comrades out. Once released, Giorgio obsessively pursues his dream of becoming an upright citizen, but his old police aquaintance keeps dragging him down...

In 1976, when he was just 19 years old, Massimo Carlotto was accused of a murder of which he was the sole witness. As a result of this accusation, he faced 11 trials, spent 6 years in prison, and 5 years on the run. His legal ordeal lasted 18 years and ended in 1993 when the President of the Republic granted him a pardon.
