Synopsis

Rome, 1968. Soft-spoken playwright and poet Braibanti is arrested on charges of “plagiarism”; that he has subjugated another person to his will and led them morally astray. The charges — resting on a rarely cited Fascist-era law — are brought by the family of his romantic partner Ettore. Seeking to extract the younger man from Braibanti’s influence, his mother commits Ettore to a psychiatric hospital for electrotherapy, to be “cured”. Braibanti elects to run his own defence, one where the very essence of his life is scrutinised: art, science, philosophy and sexuality. Meanwhile, the case receives national attention through the efforts of a local journalist, Ennio, whose diligent and empathetic reporting on the proceedings, spurred on by his cousin Graziella, stokes community suspicion and the ire of his editor.
