Master filmmaker Zurlini's masterpiece, set during wartime, depicts the extremes of forbidden love in an unabashed manner.

The film features a rare nude scene by Drago, which was replaced in the international version due to ethical regulations at the time of its release. -In the summer of 1943, Italy was in turmoil during the war. Italy is in turmoil during the war, but Carlo, whose father is a high-ranking Fascist official, avoids the flames of war and comes to Riccione, a luxury summer resort.

One day, the summer resort is thrown into chaos when German fighter planes suddenly appear, flying low and threatening to overtake them. Carlo saves one little girl who is crying at the time. He then meets her mother, Roberta, a widow. The two are quickly attracted to each other, and one night they kiss on the mouth, but Rossana sees them and runs away crying. They eventually fall deeply in love, and for the first time, they are intoxicated with the joy and happiness of love...
