A BEAUTIFUL AUGUST 15TH HOLIDAY

Five days in the domestic life of a young couple - the woman a stripper and the man a jobless person — in the oppressive heat of a Roman August. Elisabeth and Filippo live through the end of their love affair with clashes, warm moments, and moments of subtle intolerance.
