Stories in the Sand (1963)

Three stories set among ordinary people. 1) "Francesca". One day on the beach for Francesca, a four-year-old little girl. She spends this particular day on the sand, in the dunes, in the water, in the water, in the sun and in the middle of normal people. 2) "Anna". A wedding meal : an exceptional event for unexceptional people. 3) "Lucia". A group of young rich idlers spends the night in a fishermen's village. Gradually, being in contact with poor but sane, sober people changes their point of view. Which is in particular Anna's case. Pregnant, she had been contemplating abortion. But she now considers facing maternity with joy and confidence.
