Ein Mann auf den Knien (1979)
Nino Peralta ist mit Lucia verheiratet; sie haben mit Paolo und Serena zwei Kinder. Nino betreibt einen Kiosk in der Nähe der Kathedrale von Palermo. Eines Tages wird er von seinem Partner Sebastiano alarmiert, ein gewisser Antonio Platamona würde ihn, möglicherweise wegen einer Schutzgeldzahlung, beschatten. Noch bevor er diesem persönlich begegnet, erfährt Nino, ein ehemaliger Mafia-Angehöriger, dass er auf der Todesliste der Gesellschaft steht, die mit unerbittlicher Präzision abgearbeitet wird. Peralta versucht zunächst, sich zu entlasten – er beliefert seit Tagen unwissentlich einen Entführer im nahegelegenen Hotel, der die Frau eines Mafiabosses in seiner Gewalt hat; somit wird er für einen Mitwisser und Verräter gehalten. Nino nimmt Kontakt mit Platamona auf, der offenbar sein Killer ist, und ist gezwungen, seinen Kiosk zu verkaufen
