In "The Refrigerator," a poor emigrant-worker married couple spends almost all their money to buy that '70s must, a refrigerator; still short of money, they decided to go into prostitution--to which the wife doesn't totally object. To celebrate ten years of marriage, a couple decides to spend a quick "Holiday in Top Luxury Hotels" in Sardinia, but the fashion luxury VIP world is too hard to enter, and they might exit into prison. In "The Lion," adulterers Antonio and Giulia are about to leave their trysting spot but the exit is blocked by a lion; the critical situation soon drives them to their limits, showing their true essence.
