The grim, drab life of a man who labors in a sugar refinery in northern Italy provides the center of this drama.
The worker lives with a married woman and their young daughter. One day the woman learns that her legal spouse died. The refinery worker immediately proposes, but she spurns him in favor of another. Deeply depressed, the laborer begins to drift aimlessly across the northern wasteland with his daughter in tow. Along the way he meets many women who pester him for love. But he is unable to forget his daughter's mother and so returns to find that she lives in a new home with a new child. The story comes to a shocking and inevitable thespian denouement.
