Valentino Agunu

In 1944, American sailor Dean Barry arrives in Naples, a city destroyed by bombing after the liberation of Italy. Dean meets Lucia, a young and very poor girl with whom he falls madly in love. Two years later, at the end of his service, Dean has to return to New Jersey and Lucia remains in Naples, alone and pregnant.

When love blossoms between a young Italian woman and an African student, her family’s disapproval — and a secret — threatens to tear the lovers apart.
