Antonia and Bernardo are having a love affair which will lead them to marriage. They are both deeply involved in the peasant struggle to achieve better working conditions. The strikes of the spring in 1948 lead them to question the meaning of the "italian way to socialism" and the sense of armed struggle. From 1950, industrial development will draw many peasants to the urban centres, where they will become integrated in a strange world. The film reconstructs real facts.
Luci, a resigned fortyish lady, is married to a policeman. Pepi, who lives in the opposite building, is an amoral, spontaneous, resourceful and modern young girl, full of life. Boom is a rather perverse and vicious teenager. Luci's husband rapes Pepi in exchange for his silence regarding the marihuana she is growing in her terrace. Luci and Boom become lovers, and Pepi writes the story of their love.

Spain, in the early sixties, is a country of economical take-off. It is also the time when young academics, workers, and people from the mixed sector (maids, small clarks...) join the "Party". The film deals with the daily life of men and women belonging to this sector.
