Plot Synopsis

Perhan, the bastard boy hero, wanders the shanty town like a holy fool. His grandmother has healing powers; Perhan is telekinetic, and spends his time moving spoons up walls. Too poor to marry his beloved Azra, Perhan is taken to Italy by the 'Sheik', ostensibly to obtain a leg operation for his crippled sister, but in fact as part of the child-selling Sheik's business, to learn traditional skills - pimping, begging, stealing - on the streets of Milan.
