Storyline

In the first of two separate tales, an Italian woman (Anna Magnani) desperate to reconcile with her ex-husband, pours out her feelings to him in an emotional phone conversation. In the second, a volatile peasant (also Magnani) in a small village believes a vagrant (Federico Fellini) is Saint Joseph. After the woman speaks with him, he offers her wine, and later she passes out. Weeks later, discovering she's pregnant, the woman tells the scoffing villagers that she is carrying the Christ child.
