Johanin ja Mariannen avioliitto on kestänyt kymmenen vuotta, ja heillä on kaksi tytärtä. Johan on psykotekniikan dosentti ja Marianne perheasianajaja, joka on erikoistunut avioeroihin. He elävät poroporvarillista ja kunnollista - mutta varsin rakkaudetonta - elämää. Ystävät näkevät Johanin ja Mariannen täydellisenä parina, mutta totuus on toinen. Pienet, lähes huomaamattomat tapahtumat sysäävät pariskuntaa aina etäämmälle toisistaan. Kauniisiin kulisseihin piirtyy särö toisensa jälkeen, kunnes jäljellä on vain ainainen yksinäisyys. Elokuva esitetään kuudessa jaksossa.

Iiris on tyttö, joka työskentelee tulitikkutehtaassa. Häntä riistävät kaikki. Työnantajan osuuteen elokuva ei edes vaivaudu vihjaamaan. Tytön alistajina ovat hänen äitinsä ja kylmä isäpuoli, jotka verottavat hänen tilipussiaan ja sitten mies, jota roskaromaaneilla itseään ruokkinut Iiris erehtyy luulemaan kiihkeästi odottamakseen satuprinssiksi. Julman maailman heittelemä Iiris ei ole kuitenkaan mikä tahansa tyttö, niin kuin se kukkakaan ei ole mikä tahansa kaktus, jonka alla hän lueskelee koston riehuessa hirviömäisenä elokuvan loppupuolella. Se on Yön kuningatar (Cactaceae Selenicereus Grandifiorus) -se kukkii vain yhtenä yönä vuodessa ja lakastuu sitten pois.
One of the key factors in Italian unification was the overthrow in 1860 of Francesco, the King of Naples and the two Sicilies, who went into elegant but impoverished exile in Rome with his Queen, Maria Sofia. This seriocomic drama follows the deposed royals as they adapt to their new lives. The former king has recognized the political finality of his deposition, but his queen has taken to traveling in men's clothing all over Italy trying to foment an uprising to restore them to the throne. She is also frantic to have a baby, an heir, but the king has become celibate as a kind of homage to his beloved mother; he spends all his time lobbying the Vatican to get her declared a saint.
