Carlo Castellaneta

Milan, the last months of WWII. While everything starts to crumble down, RSI police chief Bruno Spada tries to crush the local anti-fascist resistance.

Lorenzo is a civil servant who wearily drags his business in Milan between meetings, a wink to his secretary and the latest hallway gossip with his colleague. One day, more dazed than usual, he leaves the office and wanders off. By chance, he meets Cristina, a university student seemingly convinced of her incarcerated brother's revolutionary ideas, but is unable to detach herself from the bourgeois complex assured to her by her family.

The love affair between Andrea, laborer from the italian northern area called Bassa Lombarda and apulian single mother, Rosaria, is grafted on the background of the inconveniences of poor commuters who must go to work in Milan by train.
