Après deux années passées sur le continent, Salvatore retourne dans sa Sicile natale. Alors qu'il rêve d'être accueilli en fils prodigue, il constate que les habitants de son village l'attendent, plutôt impatiemment, afin d'y dénouer un conflit d'ordre social. La question cruciale est celle-ci : faut-il occuper les domaines que la récente loi a expropriés et partagés et que la Mafia empêche qu'on leur distribue ? Les paysans entament une action pacifique, mais Salvatore veut aller plus loin : en labourant et semant, ils doivent provoquer une situation irréversible. Les paysans se mettent au travail, mais la Mafia les attaque à l'aube. Les carabiniers interviennent alors pour empêcher les combats. Ne s'avouant pas vaincue, la Mafia entreprend de contrôler l'affermage des carrières du voisinage. Simultanément, elle cherche à gagner à sa cause Salvatore, en l'achetant si nécessaire. Bien qu'il feigne d'accepter la négociation, Salvatore engage une campagne pour améliorer les conditions de travail dans les carrières. Un matin, Salvatore s'en prend violemment au chef local de la Mafia : celle-ci le liquide physiquement, une heure après. Le village entier, lui rendant hommage, assiste à ses funérailles.

À la fin du XIX siècle, un anarchiste italien, Giulio Manieri, coupable d'avoir semé la sédition dans un village d'Ombrie, est condamné à mort. Sa peine est finalement commuée en réclusion à perpétuité. En dix ans de solitude, reclus dans sa cellule, Giulio ne cesse (re)penser la « révolution » à laquelle il a tout sacrifié. Ainsi, peut-il encore survivre, espérer... Or, dix ans plus tard, lors d'un transfert en barque, il croise, justement, une nouvelle génération de révolutionnaires, eux aussi incarcérés : il essaie de leur parler, de se faire entendre et comprendre. Mais le dialogue tourne court, car, le monde et les temps ont désormais changé. Giulio prend alors conscience de la vanité de ses idéaux et de l'inutilité de son combat ; il se laisse engloutir par les flots.
