Plot

Upon graduation from medical school, an idealistic young doctor starts working in a hospital, in impoverished 1906 Naples. He quickly comes to the conclusion that the practice of medicine, especially when involving poor patients, needs a lot more compassion. He finds himself devoting his life to helping those in need, especially the destitute, with his skills and empathy.

When a beautiful princess becomes infatuated with him, the challenge arises on how to make room for a relationship in a life that is first and foremost devoted to public service.

The doctor's life story, followed through the rise of fascism a couple of decades later, is contrasted with the different life path followed by a friend of his with whom he had completed medical school.
