It takes a sentimental return to Italy to convince Francesco Iamundo that he belongs in Canada, his adopted land. In telling the story of his pilgrimage to his homeland, the film presents a vivid contrast of two worlds--the sunny Italy that must live forever in the heart of the expatriate, and the North America that draws and holds the immigrant.
