This documentary tells the story of Armando, who immediately after the Second World War had to leave Seui - a little village in the interior of Sardinia - to move to Cagliari in search of a better future. It is the story of the redemption from a condition of extreme poverty - in a city destroyed by bombings - thanks to his fellow townsfolk, of internal migration and of a closely knit community which, over the years, found its way to establish itself in the commercial and food sectors, facing problems and prejudece similiar to those who nowadays emigrate to a foreign country.
