A nice and funny story, it tells of a "man of nature", Marcovaldo, who manages to find among the smog and skyscrapers of a big city a small green corner where he can fuel the dream of an "elsewhere". Marcovaldo has a sensitive soul and almost naive, prisoner of a city that aggressively displays posters, illuminated signs, shop windows, traffic lights. None of this attracts his attention but a yellowing leaf on a branch, a feather caught in a tile, a worm hole in a board, they never escape him!
