The story of Giuseppe Carta, a painter and sculptor who was born in Banari, a town in the province of Sassari, in Sardinia in the early 1950s. As a child he was a shepherd with his brothers but dreams of becoming a artist. Today Giuseppe Carta is an internationally renowned painter and sculptor. The poor origins of little Giuseppe see him marginalized compared to his other peers, but among these there is Enrico, the son of an industrialist who despite the social difference that divides them is a trusted friend for Giuseppe. Giuseppe is in love with Marta, a child of the high Sassari villages but despite the social difference, the two will manage to have a beautiful love story.
