When, during a workshop, she discovers her talent for painting, her world changes: what she draws comes to life, it develops a soul.
Even if for her this gift becomes a surprise and then a comfort, for her grandfather, instead, it becomes a possibility to make money. Gathering the most bizarre demands from the people of the neighborhood he makes his granddaughter draw what these people think they desire, not realising what they really need.  An excursion to the city center of Palermo will give a twist to Scianel’s world and she will start filling her drawings with the marvellous images that have captured her glance and her heart. Succeeding in convincing, with great strife but also with determination, the other protagonists of this story to open their eyes in order to really see the beauty surrounding them.
