Plot.
Francesco Esposito and his wife Maddalena are two farmers who raised Mario, their only son, with loving dedication. To get him to study, they also got in debt with the country's choker. The boy, meanwhile, became a brilliant lawyer and in Naples, where he moved for work, met Nancy, daughter of an Italian-American industrialist, and fell in love with it; it would seem like a happy ending story if it were not for Mario to be ashamed of the humble origins of his parents.
