In the immediate post-war period, amidst the rubble of a poverty-ridden Naples, two kids, Carmine and Celestina, try to survive as best they can by helping each other out. One night, they secretly board a ship bound for New York to reach Celestina’s sister, who emigrated to America several years earlier. The two children join the many Italian emigrants seeking a new life in America and arrive in an unknown metropolis, which, after several misadventures, they will learn to call home.

A comedy drama that follows a wine-fuelled family as they play a post-dinner round of Mafia, a playful game (supposedly), of murder and deceit that soon spirals out of control as embarrassing secrets are revealed and uncomfortable truths are exposed that could change the family dynamic forever.
