But adult responsibilities threaten their lazy existence when Fausto (Franco Fabrizi) is forced to marry Sandra (Leonora Ruffo) after she becomes pregnant. When they return from the honeymoon, Fausto must leave behind his idle days and take a job as a stockroom assistant to support his family. Moraldo (Franco Interlenghi), Sandra's brother, soon learns that Fausto has no intention of abandoning his womanizing ways despite his new marriage. As Moraldo watches his friends squander their lives in pursuit of fleeting pleasures, he must make a decision about his own future.moreless
