En 1945, trois amis qui ont pris part à la Résistance italienne célèbrent la chute du fascisme et la fin de la guerre. La République remplace la monarchie et tous trois poursuivent leur chemin séparément. Antonio reprend sa place de brancardier dans un hôpital romain, tandis que Nicola s'en va enseigner en province et que Gianni entre comme stagiaire chez un illustre avocat. Antonio s'éprend de la belle Luciana, qui partage un temps sa vie, avant de lui préférer l'ambitieux Gianni. Sur un coup de tête, Nicola quitte tout, travail et famille, pour se consacrer entièrement à sa passion, le cinéma, désormais libre de toute propagande fascisante…
