- A man is forced to completely change his habits when he decides to move from the country to the city.
- Artemio is a farmer who lives in a small and remote village in the Lombard countryside, inhabited mainly by the elderly, where the only pastime is to observe the passage of the train. He lives with his elderly mother Giovanna, who would love to see him married to Maria Rosa, the only girl in the town, who has long been in love with him. However, Artemio does not reciprocate these feelings and, on his fortieth birthday, he suddenly realizes that he has never really lived a life outside the countryside where he was born and raised, and above all that he does not want to continue to be a farmer to the rest of his days. He then decides to leave everything and try his luck leaving for Milan.
- Artemio is a farmer and he lives in a house with his mother, in the country. Maria Rosa lives in the village nearby and she is the only girl he ever saw. Unfortunately she very ugly and she wants to marry him. Artemio decides to leave everything and to go to Milan looking for something better. In the city he meets Angela and falls for her. But Milan and Angela are too much for a simple farmer.—Baldinotto da Pistoia
- Arriving in the Lombard metropolis, not knowing where to stay, he asks for help from his cousin Severino, who has long since moved to the city, who offers him hospitality and work; Artemio accepts, but does not know that Severino is actually a thief who enters and leaves prison and who, unbeknownst to him, immediately involves him in mugging. Once he realizes this, he abandons his cousin and decides to return the booty of the latest theft to its rightful owner, Angela, a young and beautiful career girl.
A friendship is born between the two and the girl also finds him a place to stay, a small, expensive and technological studio apartment in an aseptic residence. At this point Artemio devotes himself to looking for a job: he tries to be an insurer, a night watchman, an actor in commercials and even a friend for the blind, but always without success. Eventually he finds himself inexorably unemployed and penniless. In the meantime he realizes that he has fallen in love with Angela, so much so that he proposes to marry him after a night spent together, but the girl refuses, declaring herself modern and too busy with work, therefore not interested in taking such a step.
