The plot revolves around the prostitute, Nadia (Annie Girardot), who is pursued and desired by both Simone and Rocco (Alain Delon). The pivotal scene in the film comes when Simone rapes Nadia in front of Rocco, who then gives her up to his brother out of a tragic, misplaced desire to do whatever it takes to keep his family whole.
In typical fashion for a director known for helping build Italian neorealism, the film ends with no substantive resolution, but with clouds of doom hanging over the family.
During shooting, the film was seized and Visconti asked to delete the scenes showing Nadia's rape and murder. Visconti was not vindicated until a court judgement of 1966

From Luchino Visconti — the master director of such classics as La terra trema, Bellissima, and The Leopard — comes this epic study of family, sex, and betrayal. Alongside Fellini’s La dolce vita and Antonioni’s L’avventura, Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers (Rocco e i suoi fratelli) ushered Italian cinema into a new era, one unafraid to confront head-on the hypocrisies of the ruling class, the squalor in urban living, and the collision between generations.

A tight-knit family moves from Italy’s rural south to metropolitan Milan. The shock of the new is violent and immediate. A mother meddles. A whore beguiles. Brother faces brother. Blood-ties come undone. We pity beatific Rocco (played by the immortal Alain Delon in one of his greatest roles) and Nadia the harlot (Annie Girardot, capricious and scintillating) – the modern condition has shattered their lives.

French Synopsis
Le père de la famille en Basilicate étant décédé, Rosaria Parondi et quatre de ses cinq fils, Rocco (Alain Delon), Simone (Renato Salvatori), Ciro (Max Cartier) et Luca, débarquent à Milan. Vincenzo (Spýros Fokás), le fils aîné déjà installé et fiancé avec Ginetta (Claudia Cardinale), reçoit sa famille chez ses beaux-parents. Mais, dès leur arrivée, une dispute avec la belle-famille entraîne le départ des Parondi dans un logement social où Simone rencontre Nadia (Annie Girardot), une prostituée. Peu à peu, il s’installe dans une vie facile, où les traditions de labeur et l’amour du travail n’ont plus leur place. Par facilité et sans doute par faiblesse, Simone mène une carrière de boxeur de quartier, croyant un jour pouvoir percer le milieu de la boxe professionnelle et offrir à Nadia la vie dont elle a toujours rêvé. Mais Simone prend du poids et c’est son frère Rocco qui, revenu du service militaire, montre les plus belles aptitudes à la maîtrise de l’art pugilistique. Simone, dont Nadia est séparée depuis maintenant deux ans, assiste à l’ascension de son frère et à sa nouvelle idylle… avec Nadia. Fou de jalousie, Simone la viole devant Rocco et s’ensuit un duel aux poings entre les deux frères qui scelle le destin de ce dernier.
