Un caso di coscienza

The agents of the X Tuscolano deal with the attempted suicide of Milena, a ten-year-old Ukrainian girl temporarily fostered by an Italian couple who adore her. The judge, however, is adamant and orders that the little girl return to her hometown immediately, despite Milena's claims that they mistreat her in the orphanage. The story takes a dramatic turn as Fontana's lucidity is put to the test by a man who wants to force his partner to keep the child she is expecting, going so far as to commit a sensational act.
