Pasqualino, um homem comum italiano, abandona o exército durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Os Alemães o capturam e mandam para um campo de prisioneiros, onde ele faz qualquer coisa para sobreviver. Em longos flashbacks, vemos ele e sua família de sete irmãs sem atrativos (as sete belezas), seu assassinato acidental do amante de uma irmã, sua confissão e prisão, sua entrada calculada para um asilo, o estupro de uma paciente, e seu trabalho voluntário para ser um soldado e escapar do confinamento. Para desgosto de seu obeso captor alemão, seu caráter fraco e covarde lhe permite sobreviver à guerra e voltar para Nápoles, onde ele tem um plano para sobreviver a próxima catástrofe mundial. A defesa da honra, um forte valor na sociedade napolitana, e seus efeitos sobre a vida do homem comum Pasquale Frafuso.
