Special Day

The story takes place on May 6, 1938. This day is both for the Roman people and for the ordinary housewife Antoine (Sophia Loren) ), it is an extraordinary day. On that day, the dictators Hitler and Mussolini came to Rome to attend a summit meeting and touted their fascism endlessly. In the demagogic words of their impassioned speeches, the whole city fell into a frenzy. However, all this fanaticism seems to have nothing to do with Anthony Tai, who is cleaning and tidying up her home. At this moment, she is in deep melancholy, trapped in a boring marriage and a pale life, unable to extricate herself. At this time, she met her newly moved neighbor Gabrielle (played by Marcello Mastroianni). Within a very short period of time, the two knew each other and fell in love, bursting out with great passion. But after the night, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
