La cuccagna

1962 · 104 min · ★ 6.6 · Drama

Rossella, a beautiful young girl that lives in a family of popular class, looks for a job every day but soon discovers that the "greasy pole", which is the economic miracle, is only an illusion, and the world is far more ruthless than she could believe. But fate brings together Giuliano, the only man who did not ask for anything and who - like her - is not inclined to compromise.
