## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The camera watches as a cabbage delivers a baby like a suburban stork. A benevolent crone raises him then dies, leaving Totò to trade orphanage grit for Milan’s mean streets. When developers come knocking on his ramshackle kingdom, he pulls a magic turnip out of the plot and everyone believes the miracle.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, playful
