Isabel
Sobrecogido por las difíciles circunstancias en que Isabel va a alumbrar el primer hijo, Ernesto hace la promesa de renunciar a los bienes materiales que posee si en el trance se salvan las dos vidas.
The 19-year-old Elena, who is as pretty as she is bright, works as a rice girl for the landlord Guerrini. Having become aware of her name, he finds out that she is his illegitimate daughter of whom he knew nothing. He tries to secretly help Elena, who has fallen in love with the car mechanic Gianni. But that only creates mistrust. When Guerrini's worthless nephew harasses the girl, the situation is dramatically worse.
