Cabiria és una prostituta que exerceix com a tal en un dels barris més pobres de Roma. No obstant, somia trobar l'amor veritable, un home que l'aparti del carrer i a qui pugui lliurar-se en cos i ànima. La seva bondat i la seva ingenuïtat la converteixen en víctima propícia de successius vividors que se n'aprofiten, li roben i la colpegen. Malgrat els seus fracassos, recobra l'esperança una vegada i una altra. Tot sembla canviar quan obre el seu cor a un tímid comptable que li proposa matrimoni.
Història d'un home que un dia s'adona que amb prou feines reconeix les persones amb qui ha viscut durant anys, fins al punt que la seva pròpia dona i fills li semblen estranys i tot allò que l'envolta li resulta opac i indiferent. Aleshores es llança a la recerca desesperada d'algun punt de referència per recuperar la seva identitat i no enfonsar-se en el caos. Emprèn així, a través de les il·limitades regions de la memòria, un viatge que el condueix a la infància, a l'època en què era un nen que vivia en un petit poble costaner; a la Itàlia dels anys trenta, quan el feixisme havia assolit el punt culminant del seu apogeu.
