After the deportation of the paralyzed husband by the Germans, an emilian laundress (Thulin) discovers her task: she kills a Nazi soldier and joins to a partisan group. From the homonym book of Renata Viganò, an emotional and fragmentary reading of the Resistance, but narrated without useless emphasis. (P. Mereghetti "Dizionario dei film 1998", translated by Alice Castoldi)
