Bitter Rice

An earthy drama of human passions among women rice workers in the Po Valley.

In Northern Italy, small-time crooks Francesca and Walter are on the run from the police. Francesca joins a group of women rice workers to lie low, meeting the voluptuous peasant Silvana and Marco, a soldier soon to be discharged. When Walter follows her to the rice fields, the four become caught up in a complex web of robbery, love, and murder.
