This is the story of a mother, `with the hands of which society kills her own son.` The film is based on the personal dramatic experiences of the film director, who arrived in Rome from the native province of Friuli. In the eternal city, he was struck by not the majestic beauty of the ancient center, but the cruel customs of the inhabitants of the outskirts, in which the action of the film develops. The main character was the prostitute, nicknamed `Mom Roma`.
