Summary:

Two women: In Rome, during WWII, escaping the allied bombings, Cesira and her 13-year old daughter, Rosetta, are traveling to the home town where Cesira was born. During these difficult times, Cesira fearlessly attemps to protect her daughter from atrocities from the war. Soldiers hiding in the village church rape both women which drives Cesira into a mental breakdown.
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: (Story 1) Adelina sells black-market cigarettes in Naples, is married to the unemployed Carmine, and faces a jail sentence. She can avoid it as long as she's pregnant. Several years and seven children later Carmine is exhausted, so jail looks inescapable as does her contempt for Carmine. (Story 2) In Milan, Anna drives a Rolls, is bored and picks up a writer. She talks dreamily of running off with him until he dents her car. (Story 3) Mara, a Roman call girl, turns the head of a naive seminarian, prompting a run-in with his grandmother and a vow of abstinence. Mara's fizzy lover from Bologna grows more and more impatient.
