A circus woman and her husband find a two year old girl in the trailer park where they are living. With the help of another child, they search for her mother. While searching the slums of Rome for her dog Hercules, Patty meets an abandoned girl. The pivellina is two years old and says her name is “Aia” (from “Asia”). As her parents are nowhere to be found, Patty decides to take her to her trailer. She shares the trailer with Walter, her boyfriend and fellow circus artist. Though at first they intend to report the incident to the police, they soon start enjoying looking after the charming Asia. Something similar happens to Tairo, the young child of another family in the area, who will soon become the little girl’s closest friend.

IMDB

I've heard from someone that this movie was a hidden gem. At the screening, the theatre was maybe about half full, probably not even. But there's definitely something about the movie that I simply cannot let go. The feeling lingers. The movie is actually not about the two-year old baby, but it's about the people who live in the trailers. There's no acute dramatic elements in this film but it leaves you with a subtle melancholy. The audience is exposed again and again to their substandard yet noble way of life and the presence of the two-year old baby merely accentuates it. The characters seem at ease with their trailer lives but what makes them really noble is that they do not want that kind of lives for the children. Their compassion is evident throughout the movie and that's what makes the movie so touching. The ending leaves you a little bewildered at first. But it does make sense because the movie is about the people who live in the trailer park and not really about the baby. The movie definitely goes slow but it's worth a watch.
