La Sciantosa is part of a project created by writer/director Alfredo Gianetti for the Italian TV.

There they are welcomed by the young private Tonino (Massimo Ranieri). Flora starts to act like a prima donna, making absurd demands to everyone. But when she is about to present herself, the vision of the wounded soldiers makes her change her way close
