Mario Tessandori, un professore universitario, nel 1981 viene ucciso a colpi di rivoltella da due brigatisti a Roma, nel cortile dell'ateneo e davanti a numerose persone. Mario muore tra le braccia del suo amico Lucio Astengo che, dopo la sua morte, scompare senza lasciare traccia. Trent'anni dopo, Barbara e Caterina Astengo, che all'epoca avevano dodici e sei anni, decidono di mettere in vendita la vecchia casa al mare di famiglia. Giunte nella casa ormai abbandonata, ma piena di ricordi, le due ragazze trovano in un angolo un vecchio telefono anni settanta; Caterina solleva la cornetta e si accorge che il telefono funziona ancora anche se la linea è stata staccata da tempo, prova a fare un numero qualsiasi ma il telefono è muto. All'improvviso le viene in mente di comporre il numero della loro vecchia casa di città, ma questa volta il telefono squilla e dall'altra parte risponde una bambina. Quella voce è la sua, quando aveva dodici anni e viveva felicemente con la sua famiglia, qualche settimana prima della scomparsa del padre. Un scherzo del destino che le darà l'occasione di scoprire la verità. / Rome 1981 - two members of the Red Brigade gun down professor Mario Tessandori in the university courtyard, in plain sight. He dies in the arms of his friend and colleague Lucio Astengo. A few weeks later, Lucio Astengo himself disappears without a trace. After thirty years Caterina and Barbara Astengo, who were six and twelve years old when their father died, have put their family's beach home - now abandoned for some time - up for sale. The house is full of memories of a childhood interrupted by their father's disappearance, of a family broken and never put back together. In one corner, a 1970s rotary dial telephone is still plugged in to the wall, though has been disconnected for years. Caterina feeling nostalgic at the sight of the old phone, lifts the receiver and inexplicably hears a dial tone. She tries dialing a few numbers, but the phone remains silent. Then, almost as a game, she tries the number of their home in the city thirty years earlier. This time, she hears ringing: a child's voice answers. It is herself, twelve years old, one week before her father's disappearance. Fate has given her a chance to discover the truth.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state. Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the Presidency. About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.
