The film is divided into four episodes. In the first of these, the pastor Benigno is called by Mary of Nazareth and Joseph of Bethlehem to take care of the newborn baby Jesus, who proves to be a brat. He performs a spiteful miracle series, including that of floating in the tub where he has to swim. Benigno, after that, looks at the baby, and confesses him to being hopelessly in love with Mary, but he has to resign, because Madonna has now taken a husband., 1h46

School janitor Mario (Massimo Troisi) and teacher Saverio (Roberto Benigni) are in a car at a level crossing, waiting for the train to pass. The scenery is the Tuscan countryside, in 1984. As the train is late, the two decide to go for an alternative path and take a road through the fields. Shortly afterwards, the car breaks down, and as the night approaches, it starts to rain. The two men manage to find shelter under a huge tree, but it is late, and there seems to be no hope the rain might stop before the night is over. While having a chat, they spot a light through the rain that turns out to be that of a small inn. Mario and Saverio decide to spend the night there and are hosted in a room along with a third man, who is already sleeping as they come in. The morning after, the two wake up to see the man urinate onto the street from the window. The laughters are stopped at once by the sound of a spear hitting him in the chest and killing him. They rush downstairs to see what happened, and find out, in astonishment, that they have travelled back in time to year 1492 and are now in the vicinity of a small town called Frittole. Forced to get in terms with the fact after a first refusal, they make friends with Vitellozzo, brother of the man killed in the inn. He explains them he is in a feud with a gang of men ruled by Giuliano De Capecchio, who are responsible for the death of Vitellozzo's brother and other members of his family. Once in Frittole, Mario and Saverio meet Vitellozzo's mother and try to definitely get used to the idea of being really in 1492. Saverio feels at ease while Mario simply cannot get along with what he is going through and aches to go back to his time. On the very next Sunday, they go to the church and Mario meets Pia, with whom he falls in love. After trying to help Vitellozzo, who has gotten into trouble for attempting an attack against De Capecchio's gang, they decide to finally leave the country, led by Saverio's adventurous spirit. They are now heading towards Spain, intentioned to stop Christopher Columbus and prevent him from discovering the Americas. One day they come across an amazon named Astriaha, who shoots them with her bow, missing the target and hitting their carriage instead. The following morning, after a night spent in another inn, the two encounter again the woman, who points her bow at them once more., 1h56

In the North American Pontifical College, in Rome, Father Maurice (Walther Matthaw) is in deep turmoil because of Patricia (Stefania Sandrelli), a woman who loves him and expects him to make up his mind and clear out his position towards her. While he is trying to do so, he is summoned by a novice for an emergency. The emergency turns out to be a fat woman possessed by a demon. Father Maurice performs the rite of exorcism and expels the demon from the woman. The demon (Roberto Benigni), a little escaped devil named Giuditta, having nowhere else to go, starts following Father Maurice everywhere and often indulges in mischief getting Maurice in trouble. In one instance Giuditta replaces a sick Father Maurice in Mass, turning the solemn ceremony in a beauty parade. Maurice tries to get rid of Giuditta in several failed efforts. Showing signs of exhaustion, his peers advise him to take a vacation. Eventually another agent "from where Giuditta came from" appears as Nina (Nicoletta Braschi) and manages to attract Giuditta who finally leaves Maurice and follows her "elsewhere"., 1h54

Rome, March 2003. Attilio de Giovanni (Roberto Benigni), a comical but talented literature professor and the divorced father of two teenage girls, is hopelessly in love with Vittoria (Nicoletta Braschi, Benigni's wife in real life), a writer who is the subject of a recurring dream, featuring a surreal wedding ceremony with poetry verses in the background and the wife suddenly turning into a kangaroo. Attilio's strenuous courtship is unsuccessful, yet he does not lose hope, despite the fact that Vittoria obviously does not share the same feelings. She tells him that she will agree to marry him only when she sees a tiger walking on the snow., 1h47

Roberto (Roberto Benigni) n’est pas un instituteur ordinaire. De son physique, c’est une sorte de « Pierrot lunaire » ; il est plutôt idéaliste et va s’occuper d’une classe de maternelle à Corticella, dans la banlieue de Bologne, de façon assez originale et révolutionnaire. D’abord, il est le premier homme à prendre service dans l'école de Corticella, s'agissant d'une profession traditionnellement réservée aux femmes. Ensuite, il est convaincu de la nécessité de transformer la pédagogie traditionnelle et va s’y employer avec les petits de la classe maternelle dont il a la charge. Avec l’aide de Luca (Luca Levi), un handicapé, il se livre à des expériences pédagogiques dont il attend la preuve que, ni l’école ni la société, ne sont conçues pour l’épanouissement des enfants. Par exemple, il emmène un jour ses élèves à l’usine où travaillent leurs papas : les bambins bouleversent la mécanique bien huilée mise en place par les adultes. Et pour garder intacte leur spontanéité de jeunes êtres encore instinctifs, il préfère les mettre en rapport avec les animaux : il introduit un âne dans la classe.
