Overview
Paola, a Milan call girl, returns home to her village in the Abruzzi mountains in an attempt to go straight. Rejected by her father, blackmailed by a former lover, and lusted after by her brother-in-law, she turns to her beloved sister for support. Denied succor, like so many of Rossellini’s isolated figures, Paola awaits the arrival of her fiancé, who has offered her a new start, but instead decides that life is untenable.

00:03:25 A scene of that kind... even I was shocked.
00:05:17 Yes, of course. I think it the same as you.
00:07:50 - So you have a sister! - Yes.
00:12:04 I can see only one.
00:16:40 This morning I didn't feel to go to work.
00:18:59 I'm not looking for anything.
00:22:04 Don't you want me to take you at the station?
00:27:02 How's daddy?
00:29:05 You have to get used. You'll sleep in the dinner room.
00:32:06 And you treat her like a stranger.
00:34:40 And I must give up all my hopes by now.
00:37:24 Good morning! Paola, I'm glad to see you here again.
00:40:01 Think about when we were children. We love each other as then.
00:43:59 - Shall we sit here? - Yes.
00:47:40 But you're not the same these recent days. I don't know the reason.
00:52:30 Cause tomorrow comes the azure prince.
00:55:15 a way to not meet him. I already told you.
00:58:09 Get clear what? The lottery numbers?
01:00:54 If you'd like to stay here for the night, we have nice rooms.
01:04:13 And you didn't object?
01:07:22 Why do you want to hurt someone you don't even know?
01:10:12 Nando, even you...
01:15:40 Yes. Straight forward.
