A few evenings later Gianna discovers that someone is able to enter her home without the least difficulty. Nobody believes her except the child who is intrigued by this strange story. In the eyes of Andrea this will be an unforgettable December, full of adventures, traps, flight, and tales told by candle-light. Together the two of them will defeat the burglar, a workman who had come to fix a broken lock a few days before. On the morning of New Year's Day Andrea is taken back home by his parents. He continues to think of his aunt Gianna: he sees her as beautiful self confident, a winner.
