Synopsis

What do we mean when we talk about “The State-Mafia Pact”?
About the concessions given on behalf of the State to the Mafia
in exchange for an end to bloodshed? Who exactly is culpable
for the assassination of Falcone and Borsellino? What do we
know about the endless coexistence of Mafia and Politics? Between
the Mafia and the Catholic Church? Between the Mafia
and the Police? Or is there more?
A group of actors bring to life the most relevant episodes of the
sequence of events known as “The State-Mafia Pact” (Trattativa
Stato – Mafia) that is supposed to reveal the truth about alleged
negotiations between the Italian government and the Mafia. The
actors impersonate Mafia, secret service agents, other officials,
magistrates, victims, assassins, Freemasons, people who are
honest and brave and people who are brave up to a point... And
so one of the most intricate events of our time is brought to life
in this passionate film.
