Conhecido como "o rei da comédia italiana", o diretor Mario Monicelli dirigiu nos anos 70 esta irreverente e engraçadíssima história sobre velhos amigos de escola. Através do jornalista e narrador Giorgio Perozzi (Philippe Noiret) conhecemos o cotidiano de cinco cinquentões que adoram pregar peças e passar trotes em quem se atreve a passar na frente deles. Pequenas histórias do grupo que contadas por Perozzi nos apresenta Lello Mascetti (Ugo Tognazzi), o conde falido; o Doutor Sassaroli (Adolfo Celi), o arquiteto Rambaldo Melandri (Gastone Moschin) e Necchi (Duílio Del Prete). Para morrer de rir! (e 16 - Estimado 16 Anos)

A second coming? This time our savior chose a shantytown outside Turin, in the north of Italy, overcrowded by poor families coming from the south in search of a job in a factory, or less legal ways to survive. Young Maria (Cinzia De Carolis) can predict the future during her epileptic seizures, or at least that's what everyone believes, and her mother (Clelia Matania) sells her predictions and responses to the superstitious neighbors, after inducing her "trance" with electricity. One night the shock is too strong, and Maria seems to die: when she wakes up, she is found pregnant. And being a honest unmarried girl from the south, she is obviously still virgin... Notwithstanding the opposition of the local priest (Turi Ferro), everyone, including her, believes in the miracle, and prepares for a second coming, in a crescendo of fanaticism that is soon noticed by the press, and by the official church..

A good-natured but unlucky Italian is constantly going on a difficult situations, but never lose his mood.

O legendário diretor italiano Pier Paolo Pasolini nos traz nove contos exuberantes neste filme. Baseado nos eternos clássicos de Boccaccio Decameron é uma "irreverente travessura"! Freiras devassas que realizam "milagres" sexuais, uma esposa traiçoeira com habilidade para negócios, um artista tuberculoso à beira da morte que tenta trapacear com o Céu, jovens amantes apanhados com as calças na mão, um criado que perde a cabeça por amor e um simplório fazendeiro que tenta transformar sua esposa numa égua. Estas são apenas algumas das histórias que Pasolini traz à vida com maestria.
