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.

Arthur Rimbaud, gravement malade et aux derniers jours de sa vie, revoit les faits marquants de son existence. Son enfance dans les Ardennes, puis Paris où il devient la tête de proue des poètes symbolistes, sa rencontre avec Paul Verlaine avec lequel il entretient une relation amoureuse. Après avoir vagabondé ensemble, entre France, Angleterre et Belgique, la blessure infligée à Arthur par le coup de revolver de Verlaine met fin à leur relation et amène Arthur à renoncer à la poésie, doutant qu'elle puisse avoir un effet sur le monde comme il l'avait espéré. Ayant traîné ses semelles aux quatre vents durant une demi-décennie, il va ensuite arpenter pendant dix ans les déserts africains entre Arabie et Abyssinie, devenant agent commercial d'une importante compagnie française. Il se livre notamment au trafic d'armes avec le ras Ménélik et entretient une liaison amoureuse avec Gennet, une Éthiopienne qui restera à ses côtés jusqu'à ce que, atteint d'une tumeur maligne au genou droit, il doive quitter l'Afrique pour aller se faire soigner en France. C'est durant ses derniers mois qu'Arthur exprimera des sentiments insoupçonnés : son amour pour la vie et ses inclinaisons pour le surnaturel.

En septembre 1894, le service de renseignement français prend connaissance d'un incident d'espionnage à Paris. Des secrets militaires auraient été transmis à l'attaché militaire allemand à Paris, Maximilian von Schwartzkoppen. « Dans l'intérêt de l'armée », dit-on, le ministre de la Guerre Auguste Mercier doit rapidement trouver un coupable. Le 15 octobre de la même année, Alfred Dreyfus, capitaine au sein de l'état-major, d'origine juive, né en Alsace, jusqu'alors totalement innocent, est arrêté sur la base d'éléments de preuve légèrement construits. L'agitation antisémite dans la presse, l'armée et la politique crée rapidement un chaudron contre le traître présumé à Paris dans les années 1890.

The film documents the events that saw a French Captain, Alfred Dreyfus, sent to Devil's Island for espionage near the end of the nineteenth century. Colonel Georges Picquart (Richard Dreyfuss) is given the job of justifying Dreyfus' sentence. Instead, he discovers that Dreyfus (Kenneth Colley), a Jew, was merely a convenient scapegoat for the actions of the true culprit, a member of the French General staff. His attempt to right the wrong sees his military career ended and the famous French author, Émile Zola (Martin Friend), found guilty of libel.

À Milan, le 12 décembre 1969, sur la Piazza Fontana, en milieu d'après-midi, une explosion dévaste l'agence de la Banque nationale de l'Agriculture, encore pleine de clients. Dix-sept personnes périssent et quatre-vingt huit autres sont grièvement blessées. Au même moment, à Rome, trois autres bombes explosent, et un autre engin qui n'a pas explosé est retrouvé à Milan. Il est évident qu'il s'agit d'un plan subversif concerté.
