La Strada, also translated into English as The Road, is a 1954 Italian road movie and tragedy film directed by Federico Fellini and co-written by Fellini, Tullio Pinelli and Ennio Flaiano. The film tells the story of Gelsomina, a simple-minded young woman bought from her mother by Zampanò, a brutish strongman who takes her with him on the road.

"What if I asked you to come with me? Ill teach you to walk the tightrope, way up in the air, with all the lights on you. I have a car. Wed be traveling all the time. Wed have a world of fun.
