How does the movie end?

After Cesira and Rosetta are raped by the aliied soldiers in the bombed out church, they return to the road and continue to walk to Rome. They are picked up by a young man named Florindo (Renato Salvatori) who offers them a bed at his mother's house near Fondi. Dead tired, Cesira goes to sleep. She wakes up later to find that Rosetta is not in the bed with her. She goes looking for her and is told that Rosetta went out dancing with Florindo. She is also told that Michele (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is dead, having been shot by the Germans who forced him to lead them through the mountains. Cesira waits all night for Rosetta to come back, but she doesn't return. The next morning, Rosetta returns carrying some nylon stockings given to her by Florindo. Cesira becomes irate over the stockings and the fact that Rosetta went out without telling her. When she calms down again, Cesira apologizes to Rosetta and tells her that Michele is dead. For the first time since the rape, Rosetta cries and allows her mother to comfort her. In the final scene, Cesira holds Rosetta and murmurs over and over, "Enough...enough."
