Synopsis

An Italian couple Maria and Pietro Rosati live in Brazil where they manage an estate. One day when Maria is faced by sexual assault, her husband kills the preparator. Pietro is pursued by the police and is shot and tumlbles lifelessly into a river. Maria is charged as an accomplice, but after her a lengthy trial she is acquitted. A few years later she is working as an assistant to a doctor at a research institute. They falls in love and marry, but when Brazil enters the Second World War all Italian citizens are dismissed and expelled from the country, they catch the last available ship for home. To their shock they discover Pietro working as a stoker in the engine room, he miraculously survived his fall into the river and has been laying low in the meantime. He demands his wife comes back to him, but she says she is pregnant and loves her second husband, even if the marriage is technically invalid. When the ship hits a mine, Pietro nobly sacrifices himself by helping Maria and the doctor into the lifeboat and then cutting the rope.
