Aida, a young woman who sings for a living, is trying to find Marcello, a young man from a good family who abandoned her after promising her everything. She tracks him down and meets his younger brother, Lorenzo. Lorenzo disapproves of Marcello's behavior and feels compassion for Aida. This compassion soon turns to fascination, and then to love. Zurlini's work is as refined as it is incisive on the cruelty of class relations and the disillusionment of youth, and the Perrin-Cardinale duo infuse it with beauty and grace.
The story of a relationship between Aida, who sings for a living, and Lorenzo, a young man from a good family who takes a liking to her.
