Miracle in Milan

An impudent, riotous laugh on the lives and morals of our day!

A whimsical, warmly humanistic fable about kindness and community that uses magic realism to transform poverty and social injustice into a celebration of human dignity and solidarity.

Once upon a time a wise and kind old woman discovers a baby in her cabbage patch. She brings up the child and, when she dies, the boy, Totò, enters an orphanage. Totò leaves the orphanage a happy young man, and looks for work in post-war Milan. He ends up with the homeless and organizes them to build a shanty town in a vacant lot. But when greedy developers threaten the community’s land, Totò will need all the help he can get in order to find an impossible way out.
