Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Antonio is a jolly, precise fellow working for an auto factory in northern Italy. He decides to take his wife and two daughters on vacation to Sicily so they can finally see his hometown and meet his family. He's excited to show them around and dispel many of the negative stereotypes about Sicilians. He even dispels stereotypes about the Mafia, saying that being a mafioso as a teen amounted to just being a messenger boy. But as Antonio reconnects with his past in Sicily, he realizes that there are more sides to being a Sicilian than he remembers. Written by krasnoludek |
