Gelsomina, a simple-minded, naïve young woman, is sold by her mother under precarious circumstances to Zampanò. Zampanò is a brutal strongman. He takes the young woman from town to town exhibiting himself as a street performer. During their travels and their life on the road (Italian: la strada) Zampanò treats Gelsomina cruelly despite her innocent trust of him and her willingness to please him. When Gelsomina becomes acquainted with the high wire artist Il Matto, she has a change of heart. Gelsomina stands between two men, who embody two opposing aspects of life and love.
