When the Germans invade, almost all of the residents and workers in the brothel where she lives take off. Only Nana and Luparella, a very pregnant prostitute, remain. Nana delivers the baby, but the mother passes away. A Nazi officer molests the dead body, causing Nana to take an appropriate measure of revenge. Luparella was screened at the Venice Film Festival.
