But the shadow of the past won't let them go.

Hard-hitting social drama about four prostitutes, who —initially out of necessity— choose a different life, but ultimately are hopeless because of their past. In addition to the dramatic story, the film, with an unforgettable ending, is completely carried by the excellent acting, in particular by Simone Signoret and Emmanuelle Riva. The most striking appearance is Sandra Milo, more or less a cross between Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida.
