An American married woman (Jennifer Jones) visited Rome and while being there got a relationship with another young man (Monty Clift). One day she decided to go back to USA going first by train to Paris. At the Terminal railroad station (Stazione Termini) she decided to send a message to his lover announcing her departure, but he got acquainted somehow before and went to Termini to see her. After several discussions, they made peace and decided to hide themselves in an empty wagon to be closer, they were surprised by the local police and were taken to its station inside Termini. Hopefully, the police commissioner (Gino Cervi) saw nothing wrong and let them go. As you may see the plot is nothing deep, the best of the film is that shows several Roman sites as Piazza Navona and the whole Termini Station as well as the behavior of some Italian people. When you see the film you think that you are there inside the station participating together with the actors. Probably this was the idea of De Sica when directed such a drama.
