Film Synopsis

Vincenzo, a young Italian, arrives in Holland to work in the mines.  He gets to know another Italian man, Federico, who has worked in the mines for some time.  Unlike his new friend, Vincenzo doubts whether he will ever get used to this kind of work and the miserable Dutch weather.  One Friday evening, Federico invites Vincenzo to accompany him to Amsterdam, where he meets his girlfriend, Cori.  Whilst walking alone in the red light district, Vincenzo sees an attractive young woman at a window.  Even though he knows she is a prostitute, the Italian is keen to find out more about her.  The girl takes a liking to Vincenzo and the flame of romance is soon ignited.  But what can a modest girl from the streets and a poor immigrant worker have to look forward to...?
