Se compone de cuatro episodios que ejemplifican aspectos paradójicos o grotescos de la vida conyugal: En "Primeras nupcias", un matrimonio pretende casar a su perrita de raza. En "El deber conyugal", se retrata la miseria de la vida conyugal de una familia de la pequeña burguesía italiana. En "Higiene conyugal", ambientado en Nueva York, Fran y Nancy programan una vida erótica con una gran meticulosidad, desde la ambientación luminosa hasta su vestuario íntimo, sin excluir las decisiones sobre la liberación sexual. En "La familia feliz", en un futuro próximo pero impreciso, cualquier tipo de relación se produce en escenarios de plástico y goma. La humanidad ha desaparecido y las formas que habitan este mundo parecen maniquíes.
