The film tells the story of Aldo (Steve Cochran), a worker of an Italian sugar refinery. His long-time lover Irma (Alida Valli) learns that her husband, who left to Australia in search of a job, died there. Aldo suggests that this may be a chance for them to marry, but Irma claims that she loves another man. Aldo leaves his town with their daughter and the two of them start desperately wandering all over the Po valley. However, he cannot forget Irma, and returns to his town, where a demonstration protests the building of a U.S. military airfield instead of the refinery. He finds Irma lives in a new home and, through a window, watches her with a baby. He mounts the refinery's high tower, the only vertical structure in a flat and barren landscape. Irma catches up to him and watches as he is overcome with vertigo and falls to his death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_grido)
