What Miracle in Milan Is About

A good natured young man found in a cabbage patch befriends the people of a shanty settlement on the edge of Milan and tries to help them with a supply of wishes. Vittorio De Sica holds realism and fable in the same film: the poverty is never softened while the solution is deliberately absurd.
