Giacintto (Nino Manfredi, in one of his best performances) lives with his wife, ten children, and sundry relatives in a shack in a shanty town on the outskirts of Rome. The film is a pitiless description of material and moral poverty of the more needy citizens of society. Ettore Scola, here exploring his satyrical side, interposes grotesque, humorous instances, to poetry and drama. The winner of the Prize for Best Directing at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.
