Franca Valeri, Adriana Asti, Mariangela Melato, Ottavia Piccolo and others talk about being theater and cinema actresses in Milan. The film leaves the protagonists free to wander through the memories of their private and professional lives. By recalling the anecdotes of their careers and recounting the theatrical and cinematographic characters they have played, the great actresses provide a great overview of the changes that women have experienced from the years of the economic boom to the present day, through the periods of protest, of feminism , of the years of lead and of tangentopoli.

The film was produced by the Province of Milan.
