Wanda Goronski can no longer stand the miserable environment in which she lives. Fired from the factory where she was employed, she decides to leave her husband, a miner, and their two children, without looking back. A wandering through the city begins, where Wanda, without the slightest resource, ends up clinging to Norman Dennis, a shabby traveler’s clerk who makes ends meet by committing robberies.
Barbara Loden’s only feature film turns out to be a true masterpiece, in which she takes the viewer on a descent into hell filmed in the harsh mining regions of Pennsylvania.
