In this Italian film, the Communist Party rises above the abuses observed in Russia during the '30s. A dedicated party member is arrested for working with a man whose theories are suspect. She is sent to Siberia, but her faith is such that she waits out the end of the Stalinistic abuse of communism. After World War II she is deported but manages to rejoin her husband. Nonetheless, she is aware that the gulags are growing more crowded than ever before.
