Description
Cast: Sandra Milo, François Périer, Gastone Moschin
Pina (Milo), a beautiful and dignified woman in her 30s from a provincial Italian village, meets Adolfo (Périer), a seemingly promising suitor from Rome, after placing a personal ad. Through flashbacks and the unfolding of their meeting, Adolfo’s superficiality and self-centeredness are revealed, while Pina’s quiet resilience and yearning for happiness—rooted in memories of a passionate affair—paint a bittersweet portrait.
