They have arguments with their wives, that grows successively to the streets, country and world. (2) Gluttony: A family arrives late for the buffet of the funeral of the father of the patriarch. (3) Envy: The maid Rosette is envious of a movie star that is lodged in the hotel she works. Rosette seduces her lover and later she returns to the hotel as a client. 4) Lust: Two friends discuss the meaning of lust. One of them recalls that when he was a child, he misunderstood the meaning of lust with luxury. (5) Sloth: An aspirant actress asks for a ride to the actor Eddie Constantine with the clear intention to seduce him. They go to his apartment, but Eddie is so lazy that does not have sex with her to avoid having to dress again. (6) Pride: One unfaithful couple cheats each other. The businesswoman has a love affair with a man that asks her to travel to Paris with him and get married when she gets the divorce. Her husband is a salesman that cheats her with her friend Heloise. (7) Greed: Seven university students want to have sex with an expensive prostitute that charges 50,000 francs to spend a night with the client. They decide to make a lottery with 25 students giving 2,000 francs each. On the next morning, the prostitute asks the winner how he got money to be with her, and he tells about the lottery. She says that she will return his money but greed wins. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil See less
