Ermanno Olmi's masterful second feature is the tender story of a young Milanese couple whose strained relationship is tested when the man accepts a new job in Sicily. With the separation come loneliness, nostalgia, and, perhaps, some new perspectives to rejuvenate their love. Olmi's deep humanism charges this moving depiction of ordinary men and women, and the pitfalls of the human heart. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

Just like in The Job (1961), we follow the relationship (but on a higher level) of two people and their conflict between the fulfillment of a person's emotional realization and the world of industry. The social theme does not serve only as a backdrop for love problems under any circumstances; the migration of factories and qualified personnel from the north to wild Sicily forms the other side of the same coin as the better-known migration of unskilled villagers to the wealthy north (depicted, for example, in Rocco and His Brothers, 1960). The film is captivating primarily in its formal aspects, through which we become acquainted not only with the painful decisions of the main protagonist through numerous flashbacks, but also with his current emotions through beautiful shots of the factory and Sicilian countryside. Because of this, the film was warmly received, particularly among the directors of the French New Wave at the time.
