Widowed and having lost his two children, Guido yearns for the nun Luisa, the woman with whom he had a relationship in "Nobody's Children", the first part of this duology. Then he meets Lina, a chorus dancer who looks just like Luisa.

Guido Carani, an engineer of noble descent, has just lost his son born to him by a chorus dancer, who, desperate, has become a nun. After a while he also loses his wife and daughter in a boating accident. Poor Guido is in despair, but soon he meets Lina, a woman who is a dead ringer for Luisa.—Salvatore Santangelo <[email protected]>
