Five short stories loosely dealing with the roles of women in society. A superstar actress travels to a mountain resort, evoking jealousy in women and lust in men; a woman offers to take an injured man to the hospital; a widower father and son search for a new wife and mother; a man seeks revenge for a womans honor; a bored homemaker tries to explain to her husband that hes not as romantic as he used to be.
A quintet of vivid sketches, one spectacular female protagonist, and a picturesque anthology interpreting the diverse aspects of the modern Italian woman. Starting off with Luchino Viscontis first segment, "La Strega Bruciata Viva" (The Witch Burned Alive), an idolised movie star falls victim of fame and vanity; in the second short sketch, "Senso Civico" (Civic Sense) by Mauro Bolognini, an attentive, thoughtful woman offers to transport an injured man to the first-aid station in her car. Next, in Pier Paolo Pasolinis third part, "La Terra Vista Dalla Luna" (The Earth Seen from the Moon), a recently-widowed ageing father and his son wander Romes cobbled streets in search of an ideal wife for the former and a caring mother for the latter. In Franco Rossis following brief segment, "La Siciliana" (The Girl from Sicily), a tragic tale of seduction and typical Sicilian revenge awaits; and in Vittorio de Sicas final chapter, "Una Sera Come Le Altre" (One Evening Like the Others), a frustrated, bored housewife conjures up wild, yet hopeless dreams, longing for her husbands genuine feelings.
