Plot

The film is composed of five episodes in which is shown the love of the Italians in the 60s. Among the low quality of love stories, the episode stands out with Totò: Amore e morte (Love and death).[1]

Segment: Love and death

Antonio Gargiulo is a poor accountant who goes to the hospital to collect medical records, suspecting that he has a serious bad health. But he's fine: really bad is the grandfather of a girl who does not give peace for the bad news. Antonio is sorry and tries to console she and offers her to exchange the medical records: so the old man, discovering to feel good, will die happy. She accepts, and at the same time falls in love with Antonio who, wanting to have fun with she, sends the clinic record in accounting, to lend him the money from the board immediately.
