In 1949 Naples, ten-year-old Celestina Scognamiglio loses her home and her aunt Amelia in an accidental explosion. Left orphaned, Celestina’s only surviving relative is her sister Agnese, Anna Lucia Pierro who years earlier emigrated to New York. Her companion is Carmine, a twelve-year-old street boy who survives by selling cigarettes and small cons in post-war Naples.
