The story tells of the marital misadventures of Tiziana and Tonino, a couple now in crisis whose tired ménage explodes when the woman receives a phone call from an ex, who proposes to meet again at the "Roxy Bar". Tiziana decides to present herself with a new look and a showy red wig, to the point that when she unexpectedly runs into her husband, the latter does not recognize her and begins to court her.
At a farmhouse, a large family cooks mountains of food for the next day's engagement party for Silvia and her city fiancé, Angelo. Her parents feud about infidelity; an aging salesman who rents a cottage from them arrives with a young French woman; in Bologna, Angelo's mother frets that her son is marrying beneath him; his sisters are less critical. Early the next morning, the four of them go by train to the farmhouse, joined by Angelo's married, unpregnant sister. The day-long dinner is riotous, couples display affection and impatience, children chase angels. Angelo's family stays the night, and his sister Linda has a visitor. A silver elephant makes the perfect gift.
