Short description

A young Sicilian is swindled twice, but ends up rich; a man poses as a deaf-mute in a convent of curious nuns; a woman must hide her lover when her husband comes home early; a scoundrel fools a priest on his deathbed; three brothers take revenge on their sister's lover; a young girl sleeps on the roof to meet her boyfriend at night; a group of painters wait for inspiration; a crafty priest attempts to seduce his friend's wife; and two friends make a pact to find out what happens after death.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Before the film's release, two stories were cut from it. The story featuring Patricia Cappellari's character was a favorite of director and screenwriter Pier Paolo Pasolini, but he removed it because the theme of the East did not blend well with the Neapolitan atmosphere of the rest of the film. After editing, the action of all stories in the film takes place in Naples—with the exception of one, which takes place in Germany.
