Giorgio et Luisa (Virna Lisi) sont de jeunes époux passionnément amoureux. Par une chaude après-midi d'été, Giorgio essaie de convaincre sa femme de faire l'amour avec lui, mais voilà ses approches interrompues par un coup de téléphone de sa belle-mère. Luisa, malgré les protestations de Giorgio, s’éternise dans une conversation avec sa mère, passant de sujets sans intérêt à des coups de colère (et la discussion téléphonique nous permet de savoir la piètre opinion que la belle-mère a de son gendre). Giorgio repère dans l'immeuble d’en face la nouvelle locataire, une ragazza plantureuse et, à ce qu’il a entendu dire, tout à fait décomplexée, et le voilà qui prétend être un vendeur d'encyclopédies pour pénétrer chez elle. Sans se rendre compte de rien, Luisa s’éternise au téléphone.
