In 1975, Pierre Goldman (Cesar Award-winner Arieh Worthalter), a fiery and controversial figure of revolutionary left-wing activism, was put on trial in France. Accused of multiple crimes, including two murders, Goldman proclaims his innocence. Considered to be the trial of the century, the Goldman case divided an entire country and reflects the political, ideological, and racial tensions which marked the 1970s in France and Europe and still remain relevant today.
