La notte

1960 Italy

Giovanni Pontano, a successful Milanese writer, goes through a period of marital crisis: all possibility of dialogue with his wife seems lost. The two, shaken by a visit to a dying friend and after a literary party for the presentation of Giovanni's latest book, wander through the city completely drained. In the evening, they find themselves at a party in the sumptuous country villa of a major industrialist and both throw themselves into sentimental adventures, from which they emerge even more disappointed than before.
