Giovanna, a steel-willed Italian woman, is on a desperate search to find her husband Antonio (Marcello Mastroianni), who has gone missing on the WWII battlefields of Russia. Making the grueling overland journey years after the end of the war, she tracks Antonio down and finds him a changed man.

Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni were a dream couple for comedy hits in the 60s, but with their director, the legendary Vittorio De Sica, they were equally skilled at drama. Just witness this grand historical romance, full of visuals and carried along on a swooning Mancini score!
