A very poor Sicilian farmer, and a widower, decides to emigrate to the US with all his family, including his old mother.
Fascinating and idiosyncratic emigration story with some good performances and intelligent direction.
Maltin ***: "Heartfelt, dreamlike...Although it is set at the dawn of the 20th century, the film is a poetic ode to the aspirations of immgrants of all eras. Filled with stunning images, it begs for a sequel following these characters into the New World."
