Giuliana (Monica Vitti) is an extroverted, chaotic, and unconventional young woman with a complicated romantic past. She was on the verge of attempting suicide for love shortly before meeting Pietro (Giorgio Albertazzi). Pietro is a stalwart lawyer from a very traditional bourgeois family. The two fall in love and quickly get married. The film chronicles their initial moments of living together, filled with lively dialogue, misunderstandings, and cultural and personality clashes. Things become even more complicated when the newlyweds receive a visit from Pietro's mother and sister. Alternating irreverent scenes with profound reflections, the film explores the difficulties of mutual adaptation in a couple born from a sudden but genuine love, within the framework of the social conventions of the 1960s.
The restoration was carried out by Cinecittà starting from the 4K scan of a 35mm interpositive and a 35mm mono track negative performed at L'Image Retrouvée (Paris).
