''"A woman born for love. A man born to love her. A timeless moment in a world gone mad."''
Giovanna ([[Sophia Loren]]) and Antonio ([[Marcello Mastroianni]])
In the Soviet Union, Giovanna visits the sunflower fields, where there is supposedly one flower for each fallen Italian soldier, and where the Germans forced the Italians to dig their own mass graves. Eventually, Giovanna finds Antonio, but by now he has started a second family with a woman who saved his life, and they have one daughter. Childless, having been faithful to her husband, Giovanna returns to Italy, heartbroken, but unwilling to disrupt her love's new life.
