This consists of four short films by different directors. Rosselini\'s \'Chastity\' (\'Illibatezza\') deals with an attractive air hostess who receives the unwelcome attentions of a middle aged American. Godard\'s \'New World\' (\'Il Nuovo Mondo\') illustrates a post-apocalypse world the same as the pre-apocalyptic one but for an enigmatic change in attitude in most people, including the central character\'s girlfriend. In Pasolini\'s \'Curd Cheese\' (\'La Ricotta\'), a lavish film about the life of Jesus Christ is being made in a poor area. The impoverished people subject themselves to various indignities in the name of moviemaking in order to win a little food. The central character is hoisted up on a cross for filming, and dies there. Finally comes Gregoretti\'s \'Free Range Chicken\' (\'Il Pollo Ruspante\') in which a family of the materialist culture inadvertantly illustrate the cynical, metallic voiced doctrine of a top sales theorist.
