What happens

Torna piccina mia! è un film del 1955 diretto da Carlo Campogalliani. Una famiglia di girovaghi adotta una bambina rimasta sola dopo essersi perduta. Suo padre, nel frattempo, adotta un orfano. Tempo dopo, diventati adulti, la bambina diventa l'attrazione principale del Luna Park dove lavorano i girovaghi, e si innamora del figlio adottivo del padre disperso. Ciò suscita invidia e ripicche da parte di un imbonitore del Luna Park, segretamente innamorato della fanciulla, che inizia a far circolare maldicenze sul loro conto. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
