In November 1975, the second trial began of Pierre Goldman, an extreme left-wing activist, sentenced at first instance to life imprisonment for four armed robberies, one of which resulted in the death of two pharmacists. He claims his innocence in this last case and becomes in a few weeks the icon of the intellectual left. Georges Kiejman, a young lawyer, defends him. But very quickly, their relationship becomes strained. Goldman, elusive and provocative, risks capital punishment and makes the outcome of the trial uncertain.
