Following the assassination of a doctor, men are questioned and secrets are revealed. From the first, I was hooked as the titles proclaimed that any similarity to real people was not a coincidence, but intentional. This movie has everything you could want in a political thriller, including two goons named Vago and Yago.

It is a commentary on anti-fascism and who could have predicted nearly 60 years later that all of us would be consuming anti-fascist materials in a desperate attempt to understand political decisions being made in our own country?

In the end, even the letter Z was banned.
