Two women

de Sophia Loren, Carlo Ponti, Vittorio De Sica

In Italy, a woman and her 13-year-old daughter become the focus of an attack by some invading Morroccan soldiers who are part of the Allied forces in World War II. When the mother recovers consciousness, she finds her daughter in a complete state of shock. Conscious only of the ordeal, the daughter prostitutes herself for a pair of nylon stockings. On hearing of the death of a man they both loved, mother and daughter are re-united.
