Cabiria, a kind-hearted, endlessly hopeful prostitute working the outskirts of Rome, survives one romantic betrayal and humiliation after another, from a lover who steals her money and pushes her into a river to a famous actor who briefly takes her home on a whim. Undeterred by repeated disappointment, she keeps searching for genuine love and a way out of her circumstances, culminating in a final, devastating con by a seemingly earnest suitor. Federico Fellini's tragicomedy, anchored by Giulietta Masina's luminous performance, ends on Cabiria's battered but unbroken resilience in the face of the world's cruelty.
