action
It is high summer in the Tyrrhenian resort of Viareggio . Several people's paths cross and lead to amorous and erotic entanglements.
Manolo lives with his father and his twenty-year-old sister Fosca; the family is short of money. With an aviator friend, Manolo earns something extra by throwing advertisements over the beach guests. A contract from an industrialist for a yogurt advertising lettering in the sky is said to bring in money. At the beach vendor Yvonne, who sells warm bomboloni , an exhausted Giro d'Italia participant lands on her cart. Because she cannot find his team, she takes him home and into her bed. Count Marcello della Pietra, a male fashion model, works on the catwalk of his partner. When she no longer lets him present his swimwear because of his age, he goes away in an argument and she no longer pays his bills. He satisfies his hunger at Manolo's, where he pretends to be interested in his sister Fosca, in order to make his girlfriend jealous with her on the beach and in clubs. Army Captain Mario visits a cabaret with friends. In the transvestite group that appears, one player has failed; the leader secretly replaces him with a woman. Mario falls in love with her and is disturbed because he thinks she is a man. Finally, Mario's advertising contract fails due to his friend's inadequate flying skills. Yvonne keeps the Spaniard as the delivery boy for her bomboloni. The count returns to his longtime girlfriend as ruefully as Mario returns to his fiancée, whom he marries.
criticism
"Solidly played and staged, lively comedy that derives its effects less from the parodic impaling of contemporary phenomena than from a pointed allusion to sex."
“A socially critical comedy by the famous Italian Luigi Zampa, which cannot be compared with the director's great works, but which clearly shows his signature. Unfortunately, however, in two of the encounters he relegated the little fates of those strange types in Lucca and Viareggio to one-sided only in their sexual relationships. Therefore only something for sensible adults. "
