Synopsis
At dawn on Monday 10 July 1961, a young literary translator, Vittoria (Monica Vitti), breaks off her relationship with Riccardo (Francisco Rabal) in his apartment in the EUR residential district of Rome, following a long night of conversation. Riccardo tries to persuade her to stay, saying he wants to make her happy, but she turns out the lights in his apartment, tells him she no longer loves him, and leaves. As she walks the deserted early-morning streets past the EUR water tower, Riccardo catches up and walks with her through a wooded area to her apartment building at 307 Viale dell'Umanesimo, where they say their final goodbyes.Actors

Sebastiano, jeune poète anarchiste, est grièvement blessé par les gardes alors qu'il tente de s'introduire dans le château d'Oberwald où vit la reine qu'il projette d'assassiner. Mais, affaibli par ses blessures, il s'évanouit. La reine, endeuillée par la mort du roi, suspecte le chef de la police, car son propre décès lui permettrait de devenir régent. Depuis le meurtre de son mari, la reine a perdu goût à la vie et ne demande guère mieux que de subir un sort identique. Elle séquestre le jeune rebelle et le présente comme son lecteur attitré. Ils tombent très rapidement amoureux l'un de l'autre et Sebastiano l'incite à reconquérir son royaume. Le chef de la police, le comte Föhn, n'ignore pas que Sebastiano est caché au château. Il le fait bientôt arrêter et lui propose un marché : convaincre la reine d'abandonner son trône contre la vie sauve et la liberté. Sebastiano préfère se suicider à l'aide d'une pilule empoisonnée. Furieuse, la reine lui fait croire qu'elle ne l'a jamais aimé. Dans un dernier effort, Sebastiano, s'armant d'un pistolet, la tue. Les deux amants s'effondrent, leurs mains cherchant à se rejoindre.
