The woman makes a deal with the puppet: if he behaves well, giving honor to the father, he will become a human being, otherwise he will remain a piece of wood.

Duncombe is the UK Consul General in Florence, Italy. He becomes a widower when his two sons, Andrew and Miles, are still young kids. Andrew, the eldest, apparently reacts with adult maturity to the loss of his mother, looking after little Miles, an attempt to find a way out of such premature heart-crushing loss. Miles constantly blames Andrew for his mischievous behavior but his brother valiantly takes said blame as his personality is that of a grown up, or at least that is what he tries to be. The father, given his mandate, is often absent, both physically and emotionally, especially toward Andrew. It will be at the end that Duncombe will acknowledge his mistakes when finding himself at a father's point of no return.

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.

Forsaking the girl to the arms of Risso, De Sica decides to settle for village midwife Annarella Mirziano (Marisa Merlini). Things become more complicated when Annarella, the midwife, starts demonstrating her love to Antonio. She is hiding a secret and the Marshal soon will be in a difficult situation.
