Daniele is four years old. In an autumnal morning his mother takes him to the station and entrusts him to a boy with a red neckerchief. War is over and partisans have organized some “mutual aid” networks for orphans and needy children. Daniele is given to a peasant family of Reggio Emilia.

“The taste of bread” recalls the daydreams of the distant mother, the conflicting love for the adoptive family, the rough sweetness of country life.
