In war-torn Northern Italy, Marcello, a hidden dwarf son of a lawyer, finds respite and connection when his family's villa becomes a military hospital. He meets and falls for Lila, a local prostitute who sees beyond his stature. However, her lover, jealous of Marcello's affection and wealth, plans to eliminate him. In a desperate bid to protect Marcello, Lila helps him escape but pays the ultimate price, suffering paralysis after being struck by a vehicle.
