Plot
Gabriele Santoro (Silvio Orlando) is a piano teacher; a bachelor from a well-off family, he lives alone, completely absorbed in music and in the arts, in a flat in the popular areas of Naples, in spite of the fact that he could actually afford much better. One day, a boy named Ciro (Giuseppe Pirozzi) from a neighbouring family furtively sneaks into his flat in order to hide from local mobsters, who are after him since, together with a friend, he dared to rob the wife of a local mob boss. The professor, realizing the danger the boy is in, hides him in his own flat, and by doing so puts himself at great danger. The two, coming from very different social classes, face a difficult co-habitation, exacerbated by the low opinion that Ciro has of the professor, but slowly start to reconcile their differences and build a durable bond.
