The film is based on a real story, an accident that happened in Rome, when a staircase fell down because of the weight of hundreds of women waiting for a job interview as a secretary.
In response to a job ad in a newspaper, two hundred girls present themselves to an address in Via Savoia to get a job of typist in the office of an accountant. Crowded on the stairways of the small building, they exchange impressions and made mention to their lives of misery and tricks for a living.
Creators are considering is not so much the incident of 200 girls tumbling headlong and screaming into a crumbling stairwell, although that is unstintingly enacted with realistic ruthlessness and pain—but the personal and economic pressures that have brought these fated girls to this sad point and the dismal or happy consequences of the accident to several of them.
