  Adelina (Loren) sells black-market cigarettes on the streets of Naples to support her unemployed husband Carmine (Mastroianni). Caught by the police and with a jail sentence hanging over her head desperation sets in. She learns that she can avoid prison as long as she's pregnant. Several years and seven children later Carmine is exhausted so jail looks inescapable as does Adelina's contempt for Carmine. In Milan our second protagonist Anna (Loren) is bored and wealthy drives a Rolls Royce and is having an affair with a writer (Mastroianni). She talks dreamily of running off with him that is until one day he crashes her car... In the third and final vignette Loren plays Mara a call girl from Rome who turns the head of a naive young man training to become a Priest prompting a run-in with his self-righteous grandmother and a vow of abstinence. Featuring Loren's notorious striptease which was recreated years later by Robert Altman in Pr''t-''-Porter.
