Хулиганские выходки и нежные любовные истории, порок и невинность, коварство и чувственность, роскошные пейзажи и палаццо Рима, Флоренции и Тосканы, красивые лица и шикарные костюмы — в ироничных и пикантных новеллах в традициях вечного «Декамерона». Как и семь веков назад, во времена старины Боккаччо, юные тела и души, слившись в экстазе красоты и страсти, побеждают беспощадную чуму и воспевают гимн радости жизни и любви.
