Plot

Genoa, 1945, after the end of the Second World War Umberto, Giulio and Enrico, three partisans, intend to continue their struggle killing the fascists, responsible for the murders and the tortures against the anti-fascists, who were not captured or they went unpunished. Their actions, however, do not have an exclusive punitive or vengeance aim, hoping that the fight will continue throughout the country, up to the revolution.

The Italian Communist Party, however, distances itself from these actions and, having learned of the identity of the three, sends the official Bava, acquaintance of the three and a friend of Giulio, to warn him to stop but the attempt will not succeed.
