Plot

In a small town in upper Lombardy near the Swiss border, smuggling is considered legal and Don Candido intervenes in the endless discussions on business, trying to restore peace. A new elementary teacher arrives in the village, a woman with modern ideas who comes into conflict with the mentality of the inhabitants of the village. During a difficult construction of the dam, a smuggler arrives with whom the young teacher falls in love. When the young man flees to Milan, the woman follows him, only to turn back when she realizes she is pregnant. Surprised by the financial police, the smuggler falls into a ravine. Don Candido just has time to unite them in marriage, just before the young man dies.[2]
