Synopsis
Director
A confident railroad man, Andrea appears on the surface to have a united family and numerous friends. But a series of events suddenly brings things to a head: his daughter Giulia has a stillborn baby following her obligatory marriage to the man who had made her pregnant. Andrea, broken, suffers a couple of upsets at work, while his family gradually falls to pieces around him.
