Synopsis
Un ouvrier plombier quinquagénaire, veuf et père, assiste dans un autobus au décès d'un homme. Ce drame sert de détonateur à la prise de conscience du temps qu'il lui reste à vivre (« ses jours sont désormais comptés »). Il ressent, plus que jamais, la nécessité de modifier ses habitudes. Mais, chaque initiative prise dans ce sens ne fait qu'accroître douloureusement son désarroi... Il est, hélas, impossible, à son âge, de changer son destin. Ayant quitté son emploi, il y retourne lucidement, mais toujours aussi convaincu de l'inutilité de son existence.Actors

A recently promoted police inspector (Gian Maria Volonté) kills his mistress (Florinda Bolkan), and then covers up his involvement in the crime. He insinuates himself into the investigation, planting clues to steer his subordinate officers toward a series of other suspects, including the woman's gay husband and a student radical. He then exonerates the other suspects and leads the investigators toward him, in order to prove that he is "above suspicion" and can get away with anything, even while being investigated. In the end, he confesses to the crime in front of his superiors - who refuse to believe him. Sure that he is safe, he recants his confession, and receives the approval of the police commissioner.

Modern Times portrays Chaplin as a factory worker employed on an assembly line. There, he is subjected to such indignities as being force-fed by a "modern" feeding machine and an accelerating assembly line where he screws nuts at an ever-increasing rate onto pieces of machinery. He finally suffers a nervous breakdown and runs amok, throwing the factory into chaos. He is sent to a hospital. Following his recovery, the now unemployed factory worker is mistakenly arrested as an instigator in a Communist demonstration. In jail, he accidentally ingests smuggled cocaine, mistaking it for salt. In his subsequent delirium, he gets out of the jail. When he returns, he stumbles upon a jailbreak and knocks the convicts unconscious. He is hailed a hero and is released.
