Boccaccio Synopsis
In medieval Ferrara, a count takes advantage of people's interest in spicy tales, to masquerade as their writer and have a chance with the women of the town. Even the wife of the real Boccaccio shows an interest in the pretender.
Den vita demonen Synopsis
The story begins in a pawnshop owned by a middle-aged woman whose daughter is a cocaine addict. The woman is divorced and has just begun an affair with her sales assistant, a young man with extravagant habits. In the second act, we find the pawnbroker, her husband, daughter and sales assistant in one of the city's dance halls, the Eldorado. Suddenly, the police raid the place, and one of the cocaine addicts is so frightened that he pulls out a gun and shoots himself. In the third act, the whole group is in custody. However, it all ends happily when a decent police officer, who knows the pawnbroker from before, ensures that they are released.
"Boccaccio" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Den vita demonen" offers its own unique cult appeal.
