The young Giovanni, who grew up in the provinces, arrives in Rome with the dream of becoming a famous journalist, but no newspaper is willing to hire him. Waiting for better times, the boy finds a job as a gas station attendant. One day he becomes the victim of an accident with the beautiful Giulia, who runs over him with her car. A relationship will arise between the two but Giovanni, in her naivety, has not yet understood that she works as a luxury prostitute.

Giovanni, un ragazzo di ventidue anni, si trasferisce a Roma dalla provincia, per intraprendere la professione di giornalista, ma l'impatto è deludente, perchè nessun giornale lo accetta in redazione.
