The Italian Black Market Markovaldo lives in a big city, huddles in a tight apartment with a grumbling wife and a bunch of children. He grew up in the village and loves nature, so he is looking for traces of living life everywhere, he carefully watches flowers and trees, rains and animals. And Markovaldo is trying to live in the city as he lived in the village - but this is impossible, and he invariably falls into trouble.
That"s because of the summer stuffiness, the Marcovaldo decides to sleep in the fresh air, but city noises and lights wake up all night. Or he takes the children for fishing, carefully chooses a place with the cleanest water, and then it turns out that the accident occurred at the factory of paints. Or he is looking forward to the mushrooms on the green piece of land at the bus stop - and finds himself in the same hospital ward with everyone who tried these mushrooms.
Each story ends with an unexpected tragicomic turn, which will be appreciated by both adults and children
