After spending a night arguing, Vittoria breaks off with her lover Riccardo. While joining her mother gambling at the Stock Exchange, she meets Piero, a young and handsome stockbroker. He is a seducer. She resists at first, but little to little let him do. She thinks to be in love with him... A film about the usual Antionioni's themes : love and impossible communication in the couple, loneliness.
