118 mins. A romantic drama about two very different people yearning for a better life in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. Sacrificing everything, Salvatore Mancuso, an innocent Sicilian peasant, begins his transatlantic odyssey to the land of promise. During the perilous and grueling journey, he meets a beautiful and worldly Englishwoman, Lucy Reed, and an unexpected romance blossoms. Neither is prepared for the realities of Ellis Island, where they will stop at nothing to make it through the golden door into the America of their dreams.
