In this Academy Award winner—loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis— a prominent politician and doctor is killed, after giving a public speech, in what appears to be a traffic accident. But given the political climate, the death of such a prominent activist raises troubling questions. An investigation is launched to try to dispute claims of a police conspiracy, but a postmortem examination suggests that the ruling party was behind his death. And a tenacious magistrate is determined not to let them get away with it.
