Just after World War II, a young orphan living in Naples comes under the protection of Don Gaetano, the superintendent of an apartment building.

But Don Gaetano possesses another gift as well: he knows how to read people’s thoughts and guesses correctly that his young friend is haunted by the image of a girl he noticed by chance behind a window during a soccer match. Years later, when the girl returns, the orphan will need Don Gaetano’s help more than ever.
