Plot
An American tourist, her head full of Marcuse and radical politics, gets involved in a violent confrontation during a Catholic procession in a small Italian village, seeking to protect an Italian girl. An Italian man, attracted to her, tries to help. As they escape to a magnificent abandoned cloister, the man, a communist, tries to seduce the American by quoting Dante. She refuses him when she realizes his insincerity, and he ends up almost raping her, but she escapes. Randomly meeting later in San Francisco, the guy hits on her again and eventually they get married. Their marriage however is troubled.
