A factory worker becomes increasingly frustrated with her inability to provide adequate financial support for her disabled husband and her three children. When she is diagnosed with tuberculosis, she is sent to recuperate in a sanatorium in the Italian Alps, where she discovers a new joy for life in the arms of another man. De Sica returned to his humanist-neorealist roots with this film, the last to be released in the United States.
