Lui, Claudio Romano, è un promettente avvocato di buona famiglia, che lavora in uno degli studi più affermati della città, e sembra destinato a una brillante carriera e a sposare la figlia del titolare. La sua vita comincia a cambiare il giorno in cui si imbatte in un caso completamente estraneo al suo mondo professionale: la difesa d'ufficio di un adolescente "difficile". Ciro, accusato di omicidio. E' la riscoperta di un mondo che aveva più o meno consciamente messo da parte per coltivare l'affermazione professionale e l'ascesa sociale, ma che risponde ai suoi veri ideali di legge e di giustizia. Lei, Giulia Pisano, è un commissario di polizia, dal passato difficile di ragazza senza famiglia, cresciuta in istituto e salvata appena in tempo da un poliziotto ora capo della Squadra Mobile, il vicequestore Aldo Ricci, che ora è anche il suo uomo. Istintiva, avversa ai compromessi, determinata, talora anche scontrosa, Giulia si butta a capofitto nei casi di cui si occupa. Assegnata contro la sua volontà a casi in cui sono coinvolti dei minori, la giovane commissaria scoprirà, grazie anche all'intesa - professionale, umana e affettiva - con l'avvocato Romano, che quella è la sua vera strada. Diversi per estrazione sociale, carattere, passato, Giulia e Claudio si trovano a lavorare fianco a fianco dapprima scontrandosi, poi a poco a poco scoprendosi complementari. Il loro è un sentimento che cresce nel tempo e si approfondisce anche in seguito alla morte di Aldo Ricci, ucciso da una banda. E poi Ciro. Quattordici anni, una vita di espedienti. L'incontro con Claudio, è folgorante. Si aggrappa a lui e non lo molla più. Claudio, che con i bambini ci sa fare, ne chiederà l'affidamento temporaneo, quando la madre di Ciro sarà condannata per spaccio di droga.

- StarsMilan TankosicAleksandar FilimonovicIvan ZekicI dieci anni che hanno sconvolto lItalia, raccontati dal punto di vista di chi ha combattuto la violenza, lintolleranza, il terrorismo e lodio per i rivali politici restando fedele alle istituzioni. Tre destini comuni: nella stagione dellodio, quando occorreva fare delle scelte. Tre uomini liberi. Tre uomini soli. 1. Alle 16:37 del 12 dicembre 1969 una bomba esplode nel cuore di Milano. E una strage, 17 morti e 88 feriti, il culmine di una scia di sangue che sta colpendo al cuore le istituzioni e la società civile. Un commissario capisce che questo è solo linizio del terrore. Da solo inizia a combattere contro chi crede di cambiare le cose con lodio e la violenza, e trova sempre più seguaci. Inizia così la sua lotta contro tutti: contro uno Stato ambiguo che lo lascia solo, contro la stampa che lo diffama, contro chi lo vuole morto. 2. Un giudice e un procuratore, uniti da unamicizia fraterna. Entrambi decisi a non piegarsi al ricatto terrorista e ad assicurare i criminali alla giustizia. Due vite, due destini legati a doppio filo alle sorti dello Stato. A separarli, il costo di una scelta senza scampo. Quella più difficile, quella che non potrà non avere conseguenze: cosa conta di più tra salvare un amico e difendere lo Stato? 3. Giorgio è un ingegnere della Fiat e vive il dramma delle lotte sindacali tra operai e colletti bianchi. Finché arriva il giorno in cui le contraddizioni del Paese raggiungono la soglia della sua casa, devastandola. Sua figlia, la luce dei suoi occhi, è entrata in un gruppo armato e sta per portare la guerra in casa. Cosa fare quando il nemico è tuo figlio? E possibile per un padre rinnegare un figlio quando in gioco cè la salvezza della propria famiglia? Quale è il limite tra vita privata e dovere morale?
