Beautiful Giulia has a fiery temperament that often puts her in the most impossible situations.
Like many Italians she flees fascism in 1936 and finds a job working for a German anti-Nazi, Hans Roth, who owns an art gallery in Paris. After a short time as his son's nanny, she begins working with Roth in the gallery where a good number of paintings, owned by German Jews who were fortunate enough to smuggle them out of the country, were hidden. Her work understandably attracts a lot of suspicion from the Germans and Giulia is constantly hounded by Göring's man Lhose, even more so after Roth disappears and Giulia continues to watch over his son.
She falls in love with a high-ranking officer in the fascist political police, Marchiani, an anti-fascist himself, who plays a very dangerous double role. He protects Giulia until she arrives in Nice where he loses track of her and believes her dead. With a group of friends she succeeds in crossing the Italian border where, thanks to her sister who has friends among the German occupants, she becomes a translator for the Gestapo. This key position enables her to aid the Italian Resistance. The Allies enter Rome on June 5th 1944 and she reunites with Marchiani.
