L' Uomo Di Paglia [4K Restored, Low-Priced Edition]

[Machine Translation] A middle-aged man with a wife and children is in a momentary love affair with a young woman who has no reason to live to be old. This long-awaited release of a masterpiece of romantic cinema painstakingly layers the daily lives of these two city dwellers and depicts with a touch of realism the ephemeral nature of the flames of burning love. The love romance of a middle-aged man who has a happy family but falls in love with a young woman is told with beautiful black-and-white images and an impressive melody. In contrast to the warmth of his wife, who embodies a warm home, this masterpiece bittersweetly depicts the mire of the protagonist's perilous love affair with a beautiful, but rather unreliable woman. --Andrea is a mechanic who is thrilled by the arrival of a young woman who brings a sense of normalcy to his routine, surrounded by a happy family and cheerful friends. Andrea, who is now living apart from his wife and child, begins to see Rita more and more, and becomes absorbed in her. However, when his wife and child return to the family, he has to put this sad love affair behind him. Rita knows that her love is over, but her heart is still violently moved and she does something she never expected to do...
