Per le vie del Paradiso tells the story of a boy in the Apulian countryside of the seventies. Twenty-year-old Tonino Bianco is a farmer struggling with the hard work of the land. One morning Tonino goes to a local church and slowly goes approaches towards a canvas, he is catapulted into a different reality, similar to the world of dreams, where he imagines, through a memory, embracing his father Tommaso, who died of a serious illness, Tonino's life, disorienting his thoughts.
