The Angels from 2000 (1969)

Marco, a drug dealer dedicated to drug addiction himself, lives a life that is anything but happy, obsessed by the memory of Valeria, a young woman whom he had fallen in love many years before, perished before his eyes in a tragic accident. Although he has a fairly stable connection with a dancer and while not forgetting casual sentimental adventures, he has a sincere feeling of love for Angela, a student who lives in her building, in which he seems to see the unforgettable Valeria live again. Involved, in spite of himself, in the clash between two rival gangs of drug traffickers, disgusted by his shameful profession and the squalid environment he frequents, he seems nevertheless unable to escape them. One day, as he walks through the streets of the city, mentally retracing the steps of his life, he sees Angela on the opposite side of the road: as he crosses the street to reach it, he is hit by a car, dying under the eyes of the girl, who would have could represent for him the possibility of starting a different life.
