Description

In a small Italian town which has been lain to siege, the inhabitants are slowly starving and the occupying troops are feeling the lack of women more and more acutely. Top level negotiations between the civil representative and the commander of the troops fail to lead to a peaceful end to the hostilities, but the townswomen and the soldiers themselves seem to encounter no difficulty in arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution to their problems. The soldiers are all for supplying the townsfolk with food whilst in return the women do their utmost to accomodate the needs of this collaboration, the war ends, the military leaders kill each other off, a few marriages take place and the besieging forces' camp becomes the nucleus of a new town.
