synopsis
This coarse bedroom farce takes place at the St. Moritz ski resort over a Christmas vacation. Among the couples whose lives intersect are a widowed artist honeymooning with his second wife, a gay man traveling with his son and his lover (and hiding each from the other), a snobbish couple from Milan who have been forced to share a suite with a pair of crass Romans, etc. The movie features a host of popular stars (including Christian De Sica, Ornella Muti and Alberto Sordi) and was wildly successful at the box office in its native Italy.
