Checo, the son of poor Friulian farmers, feels different from other boys because he is more intelligent, sensitive, and gifted with imagination. Others isolate and mock him, and give him the nickname of "Scarecrow," and Checo ends up identifying with that macabre bird. One day, exasperated, he decides to flee to Venice, with the dream of becoming a painter.
