He leaves the orphanage for post-war Milan, expecting everyone to be as open-hearted as he is. Without belongings or a place to live, he settles among the homeless in boxes and cement pipes on a barren field outside the city. His energy draws the scattered outcasts together, and they build a shantytown with sturdier structures, named streets and a central square. Then Brambi and Mobbi, two rich businessmen, come to inspect the plot, since Mobbi is considering buying it.
