An earthy drama of human passions among women rice workers in the Po Valley.
Francesca and Walter are two-bit criminals in Northern Italy, and, in an effort to avoid the police, Francesca joins a group of women rice workers.

Walter follows her to the rice fields, and the four characters become involved in a complex plot involving robbery, love, and murder.
