Two segments: In the first one Felice, a baritone who has had to give up his career because of a heart condition and now works as an accountant at the Opera, inexplicably spends his nights laughing in his sleep.

In the second segment two kidnappings in Sicily, the second of which took place a century before the present one, are compared.
