synopsis
Pasqaulino (Giancarlo Giannini) has seven do-nothing sisters and a wife. As a Neapolitan gangster, he experienced no radical change in his situation as a result of World War II; it merely offered him expanded opportunities. As the war draws to a close, he is concerned with his sisters' spiritual condition, especially after he has a horrific vision of Naples as a giant brothel which includes his sisters.
