About:

The story is set at the beginning of XX century in Sicily. Salvatore, a very poor farmer, widower, decides to emigrate to US with all his family, including his old mother. Before to embark, they meet Lucy. She is supposed to be a British lady and wants to come back to the States. Lucy, or Luce as Salvatore calls her, for unknown reasons wants to marry someone before to arrive to Ellis Island in New York. Salvatore accepts the proposal. Once they arrive in Ellis Island they spend the quarantine period trying to pass the examinations to be admitted to the States. Tests are not so simply for poor farmers coming from Sicily. Their destiny is in the hands of the custom officers.
