Gelsomina---La Strada (1954)--Federico Fellini

La strada (English: The Road) is a 1954 Italian neorealist drama directed by Federico Fellini in which a naive young woman (Giulietta Masina) is sold to a brutish man (Anthony Quinn) and goes on the road as a part of his itinerant show. La strada won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1956.
Gelsomina (Fellini's wife Giulietta Masina), a fey young woman, is sold for 10,000 lire by her impoverished mother to the Gypsy Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), to take the place of her now dead sister Rosa. Zampanò makes a living as an itinerant strongman, entertaining crowds by breaking an iron chain just by expanding his chest, and then passing around a hat for tips.

How awful, poor Gelsomina! She is just not equipped for the meanness in this world!
