Plot

On July 23, 1973, in the prison of Fossano, Piedmont, the young Horst Fantazzini, detained with a sentence of 22 years, decides that the time has come to try to escape. However, the operation soon turns out to be more difficult than expected, and Horst is forced to take two guards hostage. At this point the jailbreak can be said to have failed in practice, but Horst certainly has no intention of giving up. Thus begins a long day, punctuated by the slow passing of minutes and hours, along which negotiations, hopes, hostage fears, Fantazzini's wife's anxiety, the telephone calls of the lawyer who uselessly advises Horst to surrender, a phone call from his father, who reproaches his son for being a thief without a real motivation unlike when he had specific political and social goals.
