What happens

Amicizia è un film del 1938 diretto da Oreste Biancoli. Un giovane, Giovanni, dopo essersi innamorato della moglie di un suo amico, Francesca, preferisce, per evitare conseguenze negative di trasferirsi altrove con un lungo viaggio per dimenticare. Dopo un periodo di diversi anni ritorna, con la pace nel cuore incontra nuovamente la donna che amava e questa volta sarà lei a confessargli il suo amore. Il marito della donna inizia a sospettare qualcosa, ma come in molte commedie degli equivoci tutto si risolve nel nulla e senza drammi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
