An unskilled worker in a drab northern Italian industrial city of
the 1950s and 1960s, Marcovaldo has a practiced eye for spotting
natural beauty and an unquenchable longing to come a little closer
to the unspoiled world of his imagining. Much to the puzzlement of
his wife, his children, his boss, and his neighbors, he chases his
dreams, gives rein to his fantasies, tries-with more ingenuousness
than skill-to lessen his burden and that of those around him. The
results are never the anticipated ones.
