The Befana’s assistant, Scarafoni, attempts to trick her into delivering toys to paying customers rather than to poorer children, like Francesco, who yearns to receive a model of the Blue Arrow train. The Befana’s magical toys decide to rebel. Enzo D’Alò presents a thoughtful retelling of Rodari’s novel, collaborating with exceptional talent such as Paolo Conte, who created the soundtrack.
