Ernesto,
Fillippo and Giulietta are a family living on the Sicilian island of Linosa. Ernesto is the grandfather of Fillippo and
Giulietta is Fillippo's mother. This is a
very beautiful place but it’s difficult to make a living. Ernesto and Fillippo take their worn
out boat to fish but there has been a slump in fishing. Many on the island have tried other
means to make a living. Giulietta
has the idea of boarding tourists until they can make enough money to move to
the mainland. Political unrest in
North Africa is causing many people to try to sail to Linosa and freedom.
Nothing
seems to be working out for the family.
The boat is rotten, the propeller is bent by debris in the
water and they are accused of
assisting the North Africans. These people are routinely deported back to their
county by the government. The residents of Linosa
have compassion for the immigrants and they don’t want them to be deported. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
