==Synopsis== One night in Florence, painter Tommaso rescues a young woman, Marta, who is being beaten in an alley. He takes her to his uncle's villa in the Calafuria area on the coast near Livorno. Although he discovers about her past as a prostitute he wishes to marry her when she falls pregnant with their child.
His uncle fiercely opposes the marriage, and a despairing Marta pretends to have committed suicide off the cliffs of Calafuria. She instead heads to Rome to give birth. Tommaso gives up all thoughts of her and volunteers for military service. He is badly wounded in action in the Second World War and his life is despaired of. However he wakes from surgery to find Marta and his young son there.
