Illustrious Corpses

  • Log in or register to post comments

On a sweltering Italian summer, a series of murders of prominent figures shakes the tranquility of a city in southern Italy. The community is on high alert, especially when it is discovered that all the bodies share a peculiar trait: each one is somehow connected to a corruption scandal. The police detective, who likes to do things his own way, is forced to delve into a world filled with intrigue, secrets, and betrayals.

As he progresses in his investigation, the detective confronts a tangled web of political fears and hidden alliances among the powerful. Every lead takes him further from the truth, while the detective's personal life becomes complicated by the pressure of the case and the presence of an attractive woman who seems to be playing her own game. The distinctive visual style and tense pace of the narrative intertwine with a biting critique of corruption in Italian society, revealing a dark and murky landscape.

The climax intensifies when the detective realizes that all the threads of the investigation are connected, not only by criminality but also by the hypocrisy and fear that dominate those in power. In a surprising conclusion, questions about morality and justice arise, leaving the audience reflecting long after the credits have rolled.
