What happens
Indian Summer (Italian: La prima notte di quiete, lit. 'The First Night of Quiet') is a 1972 psychological romantic drama film co-written and directed by Valerio Zurlini and starring Alain Delon, Sonia Petrovna, Renato Salvatori, Alida Valli, Adalberto Maria Merli, Salvo Randone and Lea Massari. The version released in France and West Germany runs less than the Italian cut. The film tells the story of a gifted but restless young man who cannot live up to the high traditions of his family and survives in obscurity, taking casual teaching jobs and living in a loveless partnership with a depressed woman. His aimless existence reaches a turning point when he falls for one of his students, a beautiful yet badly damaged girl, a sunny interval in his life like an Indian summer. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, the film was a commercial failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
