Synopsis
When Aida (Claudia Cardinale) is dumped by her lover, she travels alone to the big city. Her former lover's younger brother Lorenzo (Jacques Perrin) takes her in, protecting her and falling in love with her. The "pair" have many obstacles: their ages (Lorenzo being only 16) and Lorenzo's family, who go to great lengths trying to stop this cross-class affair (with Aida in the lower class). Aida begins a relationship with a new man but Lorenzo is unwilling to let go. When they do eventually part Lorenzo leaves Aida with a large sum of money as a farewell gift.
