An open-hearted, unrelentingly energetic orphan struggles to make the best of his life on the streets of Milan in this fantasy adventure.
Unusual film is very enjoyable. Essentially a fairy tale, it takes swipes at the political world of poverty and homelessness in Italy at the time. Great performances in a naturalistic setting. Highly recommended.
