Synopsis
Ernesto Picciafuoco, painter and illustrator of children's tales, is a part of a very important but impoverished family, which wants to regain its stature through a Holy Family. The late mother of the protagonist seems to be the only true religious person in the weak and stupid family. Two of the young rebels are now in the 40s and are completely detached from the hypocrisy of religion. One of them pretends to be very religious, to get back his job. The other, the protagonist, is uncertain, beset by moral doubts, mainly because of his young son who could learn the hypocrisy from him.Actors

Dans un contexte politique particulièrement explosif, le journal conservateur milanais "Il Giornale" affiche envers et contre tout son soutien à la classe patronale. Se préparant à des élections qui s'annoncent houleuses, la rédaction, menée par le peu scrupuleux Bizanti, met d'ailleurs tout en œuvre pour orienter l'opinion publique, profitant d'une sombre affaire de crime sexuel pour l'émouvoir. Le sinistre fait divers est ainsi monté en épingle et Mario Boni, jeune militant communiste soupçonné du meurtre, est très vite désigné comme coupable en première page afin de mieux discréditer les divers courants gauchistes. Intrigué par de criantes anomalies dans la façon dont est menée l'enquête, le jeune reporter Roveda, d'abord docile, finit par démonter la vaste machination médiatique dans laquelle se sont engagés ses employeurs et découvre le véritable coupable.

A pair of working class lovers - a secretary and an accountant - scheme to marry into the rich landed gentry. Their targets are a professor, Vittorio Gordini Malvezzi (Glauco Mauri), who is running for municipal office as a Socialist candidate, and his sister Elena (Elda Tattoli), a great lady who lets every man in town climb on top of her but won't marry because she's afraid they are just after her money. Vittorio doesn't get what is going on. Their little brother Camillo, a seventeen-year-old seminary student turned Maoist, provides the title of the film when he scrawls 'China is Near' on the walls of the Socialist Party building, his brother's campaign headquarters.
