On the morning of November the 2nd 1975 a corpse is found on a waste ground near the seaside resort of Ostia. A car has run over the body several times and the victim has been violently beaten before dying. That corpse is of Pier Paolo Pasolini, one of the most important and appreciated Italian intellectual of that time. Giuseppe Pelosi, a 17 years-old male prostitute, is charged for the murder after investigators find him driving Pasolini’s Alfa Romeo few hours after the killing. He confesses the homicide but it soon becomes clear he is not telling the whole truth. Unfortunately,  Pelosi refuses to reveal the identities of the others involved in the murder and he is tried and convicted for the murder in 1976. The mystery about this murder still remains unveiled.
