TORONTO THEATRICAL PREMIERE OF NEW 4K RESTORATION!
Voting against the Mafia in what he thinks is a secret ballot costs Sicilian laborer Mimi his livelihood. He leaves his wife, flees to Turin and romances a Communist organizer – but he just can’t shake the Mafia. When they lure Mimi back to Sicily with a better job, he must keep his lover – and love child – under wraps. That’s when his wife announces she’s pregnant.
Restored in 2024 by the Cineteca of the National Museum of Cinema in Turin, in collaboration with Minerva Pictures, using the original image and audio negatives preserved at Cinecittà Studios, this is the most faithful and luminous version of the film ever seen.
