LA CIOCIARA/ TWO WOMEN (1960) F/f, lying over bed, s

TWO WOMEN (Italian: La Ciociara, roughly translated as "[The Woman] from Ciociaria") is a 1960 Italian film inspired from neo realism, based on the novel by Alberto Moravia.

The story centers on Cesira, a widowed Roman shopkeeper, and Rosetta, her devoutly religious teenage daughter, during World War II. To escape the Allied bombing of Rome, Cesira and her daughter flee southern Lazio for her native Ciociaria, a rural, mountainous province of central Italy. After the Italian liberation, mother and daughter decide to go back to Rome. Along the way, however, an unexpected tragedy happens. As they rest in a bombed out church, they are captured and raped. Rosetta is particularly traumatized and has contrasting feelings for her mother.

Before the scene in question, Rosetta disappears one evening to go out with an older boy, without asking or telling her mother.
Early the next morning the couple return and Cesira is furious with her daughter. She demands to know why Rosetta didn't tell her where she was going. Because you were sleeping, is her answer. Cesira becomes so furious, that she actually gives the young girl a spanking.
