Ten stories based on 14th century originals. Full of bawdy, earthy spirit, the film romps through its tales of sex and death - of lusty nuns and priests, cuckolded husbands, murdered lovers and grave robber - with five of the stories linked by the character of an intriguing artist played by Pasolini himself.
