Rosario works as a street seller on the fairgrounds of the suburbs of Naples. His dream to escape poverty latches onto the musical talent of his daughter Sharon. He turns into an impresario to make her a star of the Italian folk music.

Brought dynamically to life by a real father-daughter duo, this story of a penniless parent and his songbird little girl echoes the great Bellissima. With a fleet-footed camera that renders the world around its dreamers but a swirl of color, Crater steps out of these shadows and comes into its own.
