Story
Rouen is occupied by the Prussian army and a group of ten residents decides to leave town. Although it is not that easy, they manage to get on a carriage. The group is quite colorful as every person represents a different part of the French population during the Franco-Prussian War of the late 19th century. A prostitute is a part of the group and although the others are filled with prejudices towards her, she is the one who could save them all when they find themselves in a Prussian-held territory.

Story
A stagecoach containing a microcosm of French society seek to escape to Le Havre during the Prussian war. Stopping at an inn along the way, they soon realize they have blundered into Prussian occupied territory. The travelers are not allowed to leave until one woman, a prostitute known as Boule de Suif, (literally suet dumpling, or ball of fat), sleeps with the commanding officer. This turn of events is met with universal indignation by the travelers. But as the days stretch out, everyone’s true colors are revealed.

Story
Siamo nella Francia della seconda metà dell’Ottocento, durante la guerra Franco-Prussiana. Tre di questi sei racconti ce la descrivono come occasione di meschinità, piccole vigliaccherie, ma anche di impensati e imprevisti patriottismi; gli altri racconti, brevi lampi dolce amari, sempre ironici sono ambientati nelle campagne francesi ma anche nella sensuale e misteriosa Africa, vista con gli occhi dei colonizzatori francesi. Cornice musicale: Paul Dukas.

Story
La Gordinflona es la historia de una prostituta francesa. Guy de Maupassant utiliza la imagen de esta mujer como representación del pueblo francés, sin títulos ni dinero, engañados por la clase dirigente, derrotados. Son ellos quienes sufren las verdaderas consecuencias de la guerra. Boule de Suif (o La Gordinflona) nos presenta también la hipocresía de las clases acomodadas de la época, más interesadas en su propio beneficio que en el de Francia.
