La Trattativa

What are we talking about when we talk of negotiation? About concessions made by the State to the Mafia in exchange for the cessation of its terror campaign? About the eternal coexistence between Mafia and politicians? Between Mafia and police? Or is there something else? A group of actors stage the most important episodes of the affair known as the “State-Mafia negotiation,” impersonating Mafiosi, secret service agents, senior officers, victims and assassins, Freemasons, honest and courageous people and people who are courageous up to a certain point. Thus one of the most tangled affairs in Italian history becomes a riveting tale. (Guadalajara International Film Festival)
