Salvatore is a very poor farmer during the beginning of the 20th century in
Sicily. He has decided to journey to
the United States with all of his family.
While they are being inspected before boarding ship, they meet
Lucy. She is British and would
like to return to the States. She
has a problem, she will need to marry someone since unmarried women are not
allowed to immigrate. The custom
officers perform many physical and mental tests before they allow entrance.
It
is interesting to see the Sicilian immigrants before and after their arrival in
this country. They have a lot of
images in their minds about life here that aren’t true.
It takes a LONG time to make this trip in this movie. 3* (This movie is OK)
