[edit] Plot

The film is composed of four episodes, each following a different couple, each focusing on a particular stage in the story of a typical love relationship:

  • Tradimento (cheating): A traffic police woman (Luciana Littizzetto) is cheated on by her husband and takes revenge;
  • Abbandono (break-up): Goffredo (Carlo Verdone) is a rich doctor abandoned by his wife.

The characters in the movie are all related in one way of another, and each transition brings background characters from a previous episode to be the protagonists of the next episode. The film is set in Rome.
