在这部幸福的拉扎罗剧情/奇幻片中,拉扎罗（阿德里亚诺·塔尔迪奥洛 饰）是一位内心单纯的年轻农民，坦克雷迪（卢卡·奇科瓦尼 饰）则是一位骄横的年轻贵族。他在Inviolata这座与世隔绝的小城内生活，这个城镇则由侯爵夫人阿诺西纳·德·卢娜（尼可莱塔·布拉斯基 饰）所统治。年轻的农民和年轻的贵族相遇并成为好友。某天，坦克雷迪出于玩乐的目的，自导自演了绑架闹剧，并向拉扎罗求助。拉扎罗非常珍视这段真诚且快乐的友谊，他决定穿越时空，回到小城，以寻找坦克雷迪。
This is the tale of a meeting between Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Life in their isolated pastoral village Inviolata is dominated by the terrible Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of cigarettes. A loyal bond is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him orchestrate his own kidnapping. This strange and improbable alliance is a revelation for Lazzaro. A friendship so precious that it will travel in time and transport Lazzaro in search of Tancredi. His first time in the big city, Lazzaro is like a fragment of the past lost in the modern world.
《幸福的拉扎罗》导演戛纳专访。Lazzaro何以幸福？。关于电影的趣事。戛纳捉影⑧：《幸福的拉扎罗》魔幻现实并行 最有大奖相。我一直有一个“主观幸福守衡”的谬论，并认为这是上天最大的公平。开心男孩不开心。乡村浮世绘，魔幻现实主义与现代性寓言。。
