"A Brief Vacation"
1973
Directed by Vittorio De Sica

The words of French poet Guillaume Apollinaire - "sickness is the vacation of the poor" - formed the premise of this film from the director of the neorealist classics The Bicycle Thief and Umberto D. Florinda Bolkan stars a working woman who must support herself, her children, her incapacitated husband and his family on her meager wages from a local factory. After collapsing at work with a lung disease, she is sent to recover at a sanatorium in the snowy mountains where she finds a new world, new friends and, possibly, new love. Italian with English subtitles.  112 minutes.
