Based on 'Il fu Mattia Pascal', one of Pirandello's many stories concerning the transitory nature of the intangibles "truth" and "identity". Mattia Pascal is a downtrodden average man, treated like trash by his fiancée, scorned by his associates, and cheated out of his inheritance by contemptuous relatives. The dispirited Pascal heads to Monte Carlo, accruing a fortune and also assuming the identity of a less fortunate gambler who killed himself. The "new" Pascal is treated with a dignity and respect that overwhelms him--and nearly kills him.

The student Roberta has already been failed three times by Professor Giannelli in the same exam and does not intend to suffer a fourth. To get around the problem, the girl decides to give herself to the professor, provoking and seducing the teacher.

A gymnasium, a country town unhealthy like most of the people who live there... and terrible sex crimes. While everyone minds his own business a dangerous maniac kills all the women who unluckily meet with him. It is not simple to identify the killer especially because his violent deeds come of being manipulated by someone on the outside.

A once famous actor, whose career was ruined after he was forced to undergo an operation on his vocal cords, is constantly pursued by creditors and his faithful servant Dorino where the two endure an 'impossible' friendship.

In line with the principles of his ecological "conversion", Matteo Argento, chief financial officer of a multinational company, leaves, along with his wife Lydia, the city's mayhem and pollution to move to a country house.
