Inspired by true events. November 20th 1945: four suspicious individuals with their faces covered with washcloths break into Cascina Simonetto to carry out a robbery. Fiorina, one of the housemaids, notices them in time and seeks shelter in the kitchen with her three-year-old son. Francesco, a farm boy, is also hiding in the kitchen, and Fiorina attempts in vain to find an escape route with him.
