Although it is only Easter, in the imaginary village of Porto Buio, preparations begin for the Living Nativity, for years a real attraction of the whole island (on which the village is located). Because of the very low birth rate, the only child living on the island, and designated to play the role of the child, proves to be unsuitable (being now on the threshold of puberty). The Mayor Cecco therefore has the idea of asking “on loan” for a child from the large Moroccan community living on the other side of the island.
