Pier Paolo Pasolini sets out to interview Italians about sex, apparently their least favorite thing to talk about in public: he asks children if they know where do babies come from; asks old and young women if they support gender equality; asks both sexes if a woman's virginity still matters, what do they think of homosexuality, if divorce should be legal, or if they support the recent abolition of brothels. He interviews blue-collar workers, intellectuals, college students, rural farmers, the bourgeoisie, and every other kind of people, painting a vivid portrait of a rapidly-industrializing Italy, hanging between modernity and tradition — toward both of which Pasolini shows equal distrust.
Într-o criză existențială și creativă, luptându-se cu un film de făcut, un regizor face un fel de mobilizare generală a emoțiilor, afecțiunilor, amintirilor, viselor, complexelor, minciunilor. Un amestec între o ședință psihanalitică slăbită și un examen de conștiință dezordonat într-o atmosferă de limb (F. Fellini). Masturbarea unui geniu (D. Buzzati). O etapă avansată în istoria formei romantice (A. Arbasino). O construcție de abis în trei trepte (C. Metz). Un Ben Hur al cinematografiei de avangardă. Încercarea de autoportret în formă fantastică. Jurnalul de bord al autorului. Raportul despre un ambuteiaj existențial. Un film despre confuzia și dezordinea vieții. Una dintre cele mai mari contribuții la acea reînnoire a modurilor expresive și la ruptura cu dramaturgia tradițională care a avut loc în cinema între anii 1950 și 1960, reînnoire pe care Fellini o începuse deja cu La dolce vita.
