1348: a Firenze infuria la peste, mietendo sempre più vittime. Un gruppo di 10 giovani cerca rifugio in una casa di campagna, per tentare di sfuggire al contagio. I ragazzi, per passare il tempo e tenere allegri gli animi, decidono di fare un gioco: ognuno di loro racconterà una novella che parlerà di vita, sesso, burle ed amore. E sarà proprio l'amore a diventare per tutti il migliore antidoto contro i mali del loro tempo, dandogli la spinta di affrontare la paura dell'ignoto ed andare avanti.

Wondrous Boccaccio (2015)
116 min
It's 1348. The plague has brutally hit Florence. A group of then young people, seven women and three men, rebel against the feeling of death that is about to swallow them. They flee the city and find refuge in an abandoned villa in the Tuscan hills. Here, between moral doubts and the tasks needed to survive, they kill time by telling each other stories until they will decide to return. The stories are varied - tragic, bizarre, funny or erotic - but common and central to all of them is the female presence.
