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.
00:05:15 I defend myself better alive.
00:07:45 - So, you don't like Anna. - Yes, why?
00:11:55 - And to the lady. - Thank you.
00:14:54 No! I'm not used to turkish baths.
00:18:45 - No, I can't. - How come you can't? There's work there.
00:21:40 You told me nothing in the morning.
00:26:37 Mrs. Anna!
00:28:40 Of course. I'm Anna's sister, after all.
00:31:27 Why? Is it yours? Isn't it Paola's?
00:34:03 If I knew it, I wouldn't have come back.
00:37:01 And my sons... when one of them died, I thought
00:39:11 You need patience. You must forgive them, poor children.
00:42:53 - Do you go every Sunday to entertain yourselves? - No.
00:46:16 Be my fans, guys.
00:50:30 I won't move from bed today.
00:54:39 I don't get you.
00:56:38 Let's have dinner now, it's ready since half an hour ago.
00:59:36 Let's go out with the motorbike... all in all
01:03:13 - Shall I wake you up early tomorrow morning? - No.
01:05:31 Do you think I haven't realized?
01:08:53 Well, let's take it easy.
01:11:46 But there's nothing to do. My way is marked.
