The point of view is that of the last, that history has suffered rather than doing it, often finding a way out of brigand or emigration.
The Prestone, paying in person, will find a third way.

"Reflecting on the lesson of our neorealist cinema," Brancale explains, "especially to the" Terra Trema 'de Visconti "," Bandito Giuliano "of Rosi and some documentaries of De Seta, I wanted to turn the film in dialecte to make greater, if possible, adherence to earth and to facts reported. "
