From director Vittorio De Sica (The Bicycle Thief, Umberto D. comes a story based on the premise "sickness is the vacation of the poor" (Apollonaire). A Brief Vacation, starring Florinda Bolkan (The Damned, The Last Valley as Clara, is the story of a woman victimized by society, and by her husband's family. As the only family member that can maintain a job, Clara must drag herself to and from a local factory where she one day collapses from lung damage. With orders from the factory doctor, Clara is sent to a sanatorium in the mountains where - so long as she is considered "ill" - she finds solace and companionship with new and interesting friends and even the elusive possibility of romantic love.
