Voting against the Mafia in what he thinks is a secret ballot costs Sicilian laborer Mimi (Giancarlo Giannini, Man on Fire, Quantum of Solace) his livelihood in Lina Wertmuller's (Swept Away) dark comedy. He leaves his wife, flees to Turin and romances a Communist organizer (Mariangela Melato, Swept Away, Flash Gordon) - but he just can't shake the Mafia. When they lure Mimi back to Sicily with a better job, he must keep his lover - and love child - under wraps. That's when his wife announces she's pregnant.
