Alberto Lattuada's 1962 film was one of the first Italian films to deal head-on with the Mafia, albeit in the form of an incredibly smart black comedy. Nino (Alberto Sordi) is just an ordinary, unassuming auto-factory worker. That is, until he takes his wife (Norma Bengell) and two daughters to visit his relatives in Sicily. Far from the teeming streets of Milan, Nino hopes to get in touch with his family history. Unfortunately for him, he soon learns that his family tree is rotten to the core. Now everything he thought he knew about himself is about to change.
