Italian Emigrant (voice)
한 척의 배가 엘리스섬을 지나 뉴욕항으로 들어가는 풍경은 끊임없이 만들어지고 있는 이민자들에 관한 영화에서 수없이 사용된 신화적인 이미지이다. 엠마누엘레 크리알레세가 들려주는 이민 이야기에는 전작 [레스피로]에서와 마찬가지로 신비와 경이가 가득하다. 1913년, 시칠리아 농부들은 신세계로 떠난 사람들에게서 소식을 기다린다. 마침내 남아있는 가족들을 약속의 땅으로 인도해 줄 낯선 미국인이 나타난다. 이제 그들이 할 일은 역사를 버리고, 신앙을 내던지고, 새로운 국가에 충성을 맹세하는 것이다. [황금의 문]은 “버려진 과거와 변화하는 사람들, 새롭게 만들어지는 역사, 새롭게 태어나는 인간의 오디세이이다.”

As a child, Sicilian Placido Rizzotto saw his father imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, and as a young man he fought in World War II, first as a soldier and then as an anti-fascist partisan. These events have left Placido with little taste for petty tyranny and with a desire to promote social justice. Upon his return home, he becomes increasingly aware that the Mafia has taken hold of his village, witnessing angry and frustrated as gangsters control local politics and take whatever they want from the people. Placido helps to form a trade union as a challenge to the Mafia's authority, and attempts to organize the villagers into a collective to grow crops in the fields taken by the Mafia.

On March 16, 1978, far-left terrorists of the Red Brigades kidnap Aldo Moro, leader of the Christian Democracy, the ruling party in Italy since the end of WWII. 55 days later, his body will be found in the trunk of a car. This is a neutral and factual account of what happened in between.
A Sicilian worker, a member of the internal commission in a factory in Bergamasco, believes he has won it over the owner because he has obtained important improvements, but the astute employer sells the company to a multinational company.
