The ravages of World War II are still apparent in Sicily in the early 1950s as con man Joe Morelli (Sergio Castellitto) goes from one poor village to another pretending to be a cinama scout. For a fee, he will give a screen test to the people, and they flock to his tent, pouring out their life stories and dreams in hopes escaping their current situations. Then a poor, but beautiful, woman (Tiziana Lodate) arrives and wants Joe to take her with him. Nominated for the Best Foreign Film Academy Award.
