Belfast, 1971: children playing in the rubble of a bombed‐out home, the funeral of a young man, bitter women blowing celebration whistles after the shooting of a British soldier, a young boy and girl discussing their knowledge of guerrilla weapons, young people in a pub singing boozily sentimental songs about past wars and victories, a housewife staggering out of her home after having been hit in the face by a soldier's stray rubber bullet.
After having challenged the German Ottone to single combat for the hand of Leonza, the bishop's niece, the valiant knight Anselmo da Montebello, leaves for Rome where he must deliver a precious relic to the Pope and obtain a sum of twenty-thousand crowns in order to participate in the third crusade in the Holy Land.
In a French seaside town, at a boarding house for civil servants recovering from surgery and maladies, the six male residents' lives change dramatically when two women arrive: Catherine, lively, sexually liberated, willing to kiss, dance, and sleep with the men, and Leonie, reserved, formal, conservative.
