During the '50s and '60s, many Italians immigrated to Belgium to work its rich coal mines. After the mines closed, many Italians remained there. This lively road comedy centers on Luigi, a retired miner who heads down to Sicily to attend the wedding of his goddaughter. To get there, he buys a new car. Unfortunately, he knows almost nothing about how the four-wheeled contraption operates. Still he heads down south and it isn't long before a breakdown occurs. Fortunately, a beautiful little runaway shows up and fixes it for him. She then robs a gas station and takes poor Luigi hostage. This lively Italian road comedy follows the adventures of the girl and her unwilling passenger. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
