A post-war Italian drama exploring the collision between romantic idealism and personal autonomy, set against the backdrop of a small village grappling with peacetime disillusionment.

At the end of World War II, shallow, self-centered Mara is the prettiest girl in her small Italian village; Bebo is a Communist partisan who is finding it difficult to adjust to the dull banalities of life in peacetime. When Mara’s father, a passionate Communist, declares that his daughter will marry the returning hero, her reactions range from joy to bitter resentment.
