His parents Pietro and Anna, plus his brother Tonio, work hard and do their best, but they barely can make it month by month... so Anna takes a fateful decision: to go to Argentina, in South America, and work there to help. While this seems to work more or less fine at first, soon Anna's letters stop arriving, and nobody knows what's going on.
Since Anna's last letters imply that she had fallen sick, Marco decides to go to Argentina himself and see if Anna is fine or not. With his brother's pet monkey Amedio in tow, Marco board a ship and leaves his homeland, determined to find his beloved mother no matter what.
