Dans une petite ville du sud de l'Italie corsetée par des convenances d'un autre âge, trois jeunes hommes rêvent de femmes et d'amour. Mais dans cette région où il n'est pas question de désobéir à son père, les trois malheureux n'ont pas beaucoup d'occasions de rencontres avec le beau sexe. Seuls la sieste et leurs bavardages leur permettent d'échapper au désoeuvrement. Aussi rêvent-ils d'autres horizon. C'est alors que l'un d'eux part pour Rome. A son retour, il raconte à ses compagnons ses incroyables aventures nocturnes. Premier film d'une réalisatrice italienne imprégnée de néo-réalisme, "I basilischi" est une véritable curiosité, servie par un superbe noir et blanc, une narration chorale et la musique de Morricone.

Marco Tullio Sperelli is a professor of Italian language for children from the region of Liguria in northern Italy. Due to a failure of the Ministry of Education, he is transferred not to another northern town, but instead a similar-sounding town near Naples, in southern Italy. There he finds a school where the students, teachers and parents deal with the poverty of the south in a resigned and practical manner that he feels are unworthy of the morality, ethics and education children should learn. (For example, most of the children avoid school because they must work for a living to help support their families).
