Synopsis

The young and beautiful Anna is linked to Guido, a drug trafficker embroiled in shady turns of Milan in the seventies. While pregnant, the woman refuses to have an abortion and gives birth to Paolo, a sick child in need of continuous care. During one of Guido's many detentions, Anna meets Lorenzo, a world-famous Milanese surgeon: the man saves Paolo's life with a delicate operation.

Released from prison, Guido tries to hinder in every way the romantic relationship born in the meantime between Lorenzo and Anna. The woman, exasperated by Guido's constant ambushes, reacts by shooting the man who, before dying, manages to wound her.
