Plot:
In a mid-sized metropolis (population 500,000) in a right-wing military led
country, a pacifist organization, which supports the opposition party in the
government, is planning on holding an anti-military, nuclear disarmament rally.
The organization's charismatic leader - the deputy - is scheduled to arrive in
the town from the capital the day of the rally. Beyond the problems arranging
the rally due to the probable incitement of violence at such a rally, the
organization learns of an unconfirmed report that there will be an attempt on
the deputy's life. The rally does happen, after which a three-wheeled kamikaze
runs over the deputy, who eventually passes away from his injuries. The official
report is that the incident was a drunken accident. In reality, the deputy's
death was murder orchestrated by the secret police, the general for who likens
the pacifist organization to mildew killing off agricultural crops. A magistrate
is assigned to the case. Although he does have political views, he is more
interested in finding out the truth, and as such has to wade through the
political rhetoric and politically motivated testimony he hears. Thrown into the
mix is a photojournalist who too is looking for the truth, as it, he believes,
will make a great front page story.
