A restless wife, Giovanna, meets Gino, a rough and handsome vagabond. Their passions affair leads to the murder of Giovanna's boorish husband. Can a strong and sensual affair survive the guilt?

It heralded a new era of Italian cinema, establishing Luchino Visconti as a leading and controversial exponent of 'neo-Realism'.
