History takes place in Borneo, India, and in southern China, the young Sandokan, who has since become Rajah of Kiltar, along with his faithful comrades Yanez and his chameleon Paco, the sweet Marianne, and the young Kammamuri, are confronted with two new enemies who threaten peace in the eastern territories. The new enemy is known as the White Rajah.

Over a long weekend, a group of friends gathers together, a diverse representation of the last twenty-five years of the Italian left. Some of them haven't seen each other in a long time; the occasion is the release from prison of a former friend and comrade, accused of killing a judge in the 1980s. Roberto Ferro is on parole and wants to know which of his former comrades reported him. Among the friends, some have achieved privileged positions; others, like Nanni and Malena, have adapted to a more modest life and have retained, at least in part, the ideals of their youth. Malena, an Argentine exile who experienced torture at the hands of the military, had a love affair with Roberto and, before that, a strong bond with a disappeared comrade. Roberto's return reignites personal and political conflicts within the group.
