Summary
Legendary Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini delivers nine exuberant tales in this film. Based on Boccaccio's timeless, ribald classic. Lusty nuns who perform sexual "miracles," a cheating wife with a head for business, a dying con artist attempting a heavenly swindle, young lovers caught with their pants down, a servent who loses his head for love and a gullible farmer who tries to turn his wife into a mare. These are just some of the stories Pasolini vividly brings to life!
