Synopsis
Golden Door, with
an original mix of both magical and provocatively authentic
visuals, turns the classic tale of coming to America into a
wondrous and soulful experience. It is a romantic fable that
takes audiences into the very heart of this quintessential
American experience - as one man, driven by fantastic dreams
and confronted with shocking realities, makes an epic
odyssey in search of a brand new world. On a perilous
steamship journey from his Sicilian village, the widower
Salvatore Mancuso (Vincenzo Amato) encounters a ravishing,
mystery-shrouded Englishwoman, Lucy (Charlotte Gainsbourg,
The Science of Sleep) - as the Old World literally collides
into the New with seductive results. Amid a harrowing
crossing, an unexpected love story unfolds all the way to
the halls of Ellis Island, where both Salvatore and Lucy
will stop at nothing to make it through the Golden Door to
the America of their imagination.
