Felice is a twenty-year-old boy from a working-class neighborhood. He buys a grand piano with money from a loan shark and with the help of Noemi, a young girl of the same age he met in the library, he plays in the squares of Campania for passers-by and tourists. The security guard Enzo, after an argument, destroys his piano into many pieces. Chased by loan sharks, he finds himself in the back of a church. He is given a jacket and tie and is sent to the altar in front of the dead man's relatives. He begins to make a speech in commemoration of a deceased person he doesn't even know, but the words flow spontaneously, cleanly, moving and exciting. After that speech he will become the funeral boy, the orator.
