L’orfano Max è stato appaltato a una famiglia di contadini. I genitori affidatari lo trattano come un animale da soma, e il loro figlio lo umilia in continuazione. L’unica cosa che nessuno può rubargli è suonare l’organetto. Quando la nuova insegnante intercede per lui, la vita di Max non può che peggiorare. Tutto ciò che può tenerlo in vita è l’amicizia di Berteli, anche lei una bambina in appalto. Insieme a lei sogna l’Argentina, un mondo fantasioso, dove addirittura i forconi sono d’argento.
