Plot

The film consists of four episodes. The plot centers on the changes in morality that involved Italian society in the 1970s, mainly focusing on the widespread circulation of erotic movies and magazines.

First episode

A mature worker, Giacinto, decides to celebrate his silver wedding anniversary bringing his wife Erminia to the cinema after a long time. Wandering around Rome, they innocently fall into a number of erotic movies. The couple is initially shocked, but soon start to be somehow fascinated by the sexual content.

Second episode

Ottavio Caramessa, a small-town teacher and writer, is hired as a director by a pornographic magazine, jumping suddenly from rags to riches with the help of his extrovert typist, Loredana. He is soon arrested but has no regrets, being certain to fight a noble fight against obscurantism.

Third episode

Tiziano Ballarin, the local magistrate of a small town in Veneto, takes strict measures against adult magazines. While the village is excited by his moralistic - and in some cases hypocritical - campaign, Tiziano's wife, Armida, becomes the target of one of the magazines her husband harshly fights.

Fourth episode

The award-winning German actress Ingrid Streissberg refuses to shoot a sodomy scene in a film adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover, produced by the hot tempered Giuseppe Costanzo (somewhat inspired by Dino De Laurentiis). Having invested a great amount of money, he tries everything to convince the star, and even hires a "group of experts" - among which a self-styled progressive priest - to assert the considerable social and cultural relevance of the scene.

Epilogue

The day of the premiere, all the characters express their favorable opinion about the movie.
