El prodigio de las migas de pan

1890, Can Marea, Barcelona. Claudia Caralt, a nine-year-old girl, lives with her paternal family and her Italian mother in the family farmhouse in a coastal town. Her mother, to whom she has always been very close, was a promising painter who had to give up her career when she married. Claudia does not want the same to happen to her and she is determined to become what she really wants to be. The day her brother Amadeo is born with a disability, nothing is ever the same for both of them. Over the years, the confrontation with the family and Claudia's desire for freedom will lead her to flee to Rome, where she will work in a psychiatric center where disabled children live who have been abandoned and who, like Amadeo, are on the fringes of the society. There she will meet the dottoressa Montessori, one of the most revolutionary pedagogues of all time, with whom she will fight for a powerful idea: only through education can the world be changed. At that moment, Claudia decides to study to be a teacher and thus manage to take care of her brother; but nothing will happen as she planned.
