High above the rooftops of Rome, Angelo begins his work restoring the façade of a once glorious church. There, among the sticks and feathers, he discovers a wounded bird. Angelo becomes the bird’s reluctant savior. As the church nears completion, Angelo begins to worry about the future of his avian friend. “What will become of you? Where will you go . . . where will you . . . live?” he asks her. Through his artistry as a master craftsman he answers the questions for his humble friend.

泥瓦匠安杰罗在修补教堂时，发现了一只受伤的鸽子，他用尽心思地照顾鸽子，还带她到郊外松树下养病，甚至让她分享自己喜欢的音乐，当鸽子恢复健康，加入街头表演时，安杰罗也更专心于工作，只是鸽子发现安杰罗的工作速度愈来愈慢，于是她开始陪他工作，天热时，鸽子帮他扇风；午餐时，鸽子和伙伴为他表演，渐渐的鸽子变成了安杰罗最好的伴，直到安杰罗去世，他还在新修好的教堂屋顶为鸽子留下一个温暖的家，而且从那里还能远眺他们相处的街道、郊游的松树、安杰罗安息的墓园。
