Saying that she needs to "discover herself," Irene has just left her boyfriend, Andrea. Because she was the wealthy one with an apartment, he is now in need of a place to stay. In this comedy, when he goes to see his buddies for sympathy, he finds that they are in even worse straits. Sandro's wife has finally kicked him out after his umpteenth affair with a married woman, and Alberto has been trying (and failing) to conceive a baby with his wife. When Christian, a young soccer star, offers to put up the beleaguered Sandro and Andrea in his expensive bachelor digs, it looks like a heaven-sent opportunity for non-stop good times. However, Christian has had a surfeit of casual sex, and he longs to find a nice young girl to settle down with. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

The discovery of an aborted fetus in a WW II-era Tuscan town nearly overloads the gossip mill in this black Italian comedy that is based on a play by director/screenwriter Ugo Chiti. The tale begins in 1939 just before Mussolini-controlled Italy entered the war. The fetus is unfortunately discovered on the eve of a visit by the great dictator. Wanting no trouble, the town's fascist secretary attempts a cover-up that is promptly blown with the unexpected late-night arrival of a party leader. He convinces the secretary to quickly find a scapegoat for the alleged crime. To find one, the secretary enlists the aid of his mistress. They choose the daughter of the town tart, but before they can convict her, she is examined by the town doctor whose findings set the stage for tragedy. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
