[Italian] - Buonanotte, signor Tom

"Nel 1939, allo scoppio del secondo conflitto mondiale, nel timore dei bombardamenti tedeschi il governo inglese decide di evacuare migliaia di bambini dalle città e di sistemarli in campagna presso le famiglie disposte ad accoglierli. Uno di questi bambini, Willie Beech, trova alloggio presso Tom Oakley, un uomo di mezza età che vive solo, dopo la morte della moglie, nel villaggio di Little Weirwold. Il piccolo è traumatizzato: si spaventa per un nonnulla, bagna il letto tutte le notti e ha il corpo ricoperto di lividi e cicatrici. Con il tempo, le attenzioni costanti e l'affetto del signor Oakley consentono a Willie di riacquistare stabilità e serenità, ma anche di inserirsi felicemente a scuola e stringere legami di amicizia con i bambini del villaggio. L'incanto della nuova vita si infrange però quando la madre costringe Willie a tornare a Londra. Tom, inquieto per la mancanza di notizie, decide di andare in città per sincerarsi delle condizioni del bambino. Riesce a trovarlo dopo una serie di peripezie, ma fa una terribile scoperta…"
