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.

The idea of an anti-Fascist manifesto came to Giovanni Amendola, who wrote to Croce, a proclaimed anti-Fascist, for his opinions on 20 April 1925:
Dear Croce, have you read the Fascist manifesto to foreign intellectuals? ... today, I have met several people who feel that, following the publication of the Fascists' document, we have the right to speak and the duty to respond. What is your opinion? Would you be willing to sign such a document, or even write it yourself?
