The story

What Is The Reckless About?

The premise of The Reckless without spoilers.

Through Ettore Zambrini, a modest industrialist who dreams of building a factory beside the Autostrada del Sole, director Montaldo portrays the restless “animal spirits” that powered Italy’s post‑war economic boom. Zambrini is a paradoxical figure—adept at handling business, debts and union negotiations, yet also guilty of marital infidelity, and equally ruthless in the passionate bond he shares with his wife.
