The story takes place in an unspecified town in Apulia. We are in the '70s. The arrival of three beautiful and uninhibited girls from the North, the daughters of an engineer who has moved to run a factory, brings the turmoil amongst the young people of the town. Stories of love, betrayals, state money (stolen) and broken promises intertwine. All through the eyes of Carlo (alter ego of the director Sergio Rubini), the youngest.

The film captures the restless spirit of young people navigating their identities and desires during a time of cultural change. It also highlights the differences between the traditional South and the more progressive North of Italy, through the interaction of northern girls and southern boys. Family viewing is advised, though in one nude scene, Vittoria Puccini’s hairy vagina is clearly visible.
