When Maria, a Mexican émigré, becomes pregnant, she keeps quiet, fearing that her husband Giorgio, who thinks he's sterile, will suspect her of infidelity. This silence divides the couple.

Maria, a Mexican migrant, is pregnant. Her husband Giorgio is sterile. She conceals the pregnancy from him out of fear he might suspect infidelity. Caught between doubt and longing, both seek tenderness elsewhere. Fascinated by the unknown, their feelings drive them into the depths of love. There, where only trust can prevent them from losing one another.—Dschoint Ventschr Filmproduktion AG
