The second haunting film from director Luchino Visconti presents a wrenching study of a family struggling to find happiness against the backdrop of Sicily's fishing community. Real Sicilian locals played all of the villagers, whose lives undergo dramatic changes when they plot to overthrow the wholesalers depriving them of a decent living. Against the odds, they still enjoy love, laughter, and friendship within their community. (official distributor synopsis)

How do you make an interesting film about a Sicilian family that fishes and decides to break away from the local clique that controls the market and fish on their own? How do you make the film interesting in two hours, plus an extra half hour? Luchino Visconti has obviously found the recipe, because this is surprisingly good. ()
