엘리오 비토리니의 반 파시스트 소설 `시칠리아에서의 대화`를 각색한 작품. 실베스트로는 어머니를 만나기 위해 고향 시칠리아를 방문한다. 집으로 향하던 길목에서 그는 각양각색의 사람들을 만나고, 그들과 일상적인 대화를 나눈다. 어딘가 부자연스럽지만 위트 있는 대화의 연속이 마치 한 편의 연극 혹은 초기 유성영화를 연상케 한다. 모든 것이 절제된 미니멀한 형식 속에서 간결한 이미지만을 전달하며 관객에게 순수한 ‘영화보기’의 체험을 제공하는, 불가사의한 힘의 영화.

Based on the novels by Jack Higgins, Sean Dillon is a maverick British agent who uncovers a plot to take over the presidency of the United States.

British soldiers force a recently captured IRA terrorist to cooperate with them and then assign him to go undercover with a gang of terrorists and prevent them from killing the U.S. President. But the spy isn't in long before he realizes that the first plot is but a ruse for a more sinister scheme that could result in trouble between China and Great Britain. - Written by Ørnås

Vusi Madlazi returns to the South African village he left as a young boy (he was organizing against apartheid, and left in fear of his life) to bury his father. He meets up with his brother Ernest, who tells him their other brother Stephen couldn't be contacted. Vusi goes to Johannesburg to find him, but at first can only find his neighbor/girlfriend, Karin, a stripper. Vusi proceeds to learn how conditions have changed since the end of apartheid, not always for the better for black men.
