| Synopsis |
| Maria
and her seventeen year old son Corrado
live in a villa outside Rome. She
was widowed at a young age and ever
since dedicated her life to her son.
Although she is still attractive,
she withdrew from life a long time
ago. One day Corrado meets Mr. Manfredi,
an archeologist who works nearby.
They strike up a friendship and Corrado
invites him to his home. Manfredi
falls in love with Corrado's mother,
who, after the long years of living
alone, hopes for a new beginning.
Corrado feels very jealous of this
situation. The relationship between
Maria and Manfredi makes him suffer,
he can't bear to share his mother's
love. During a party on new year's
eve, Corrado sees his mother kissing
Manfredi and decides to run away.
Maria, who feels guilty, realises
Corrado's jealousy and asks Manfredi
to leave her for ever, even if she
still loves him. Carla, a young girl
who is in love with Corrado, finds
him and tries to convince him to go
back home. Surprised by a heavy shower,
the two young people find shelter
in a hut and return to Corrado's house
early in the morning. Corrado learns
later that Carla has left: the events
of the night have worried her parents,
who took her home. Corrado is lovesick
and decides to write a letter. He
now begins to understand his mother's
feelings for Manfredi and goes to
find him to get them back together
again. |
