A somber Italian neorealist drama about moral compromise and the tragedy of belated conscience during fascism, centered on a man's failure to act when it mattered most.

Aldo Piscitello, a minor government clerk, is forced in 1934 to join the Fascist party. When the war comes, he finds himself able only to talk ineffectually in secret against Mussolini, even as his own son Giovanni is sent into battle. By the end of the war, Aldo has found the courage to stand up for his beliefs, but by then it is too late.
