Road to the Lemon Grove (2018)
Fabulous film!
An intelligent and heart warming tribute to Italian immigrants that exemplifies the struggle and challenges any immigrant experiences when entering a new culture, with a new language. It also shows the generational divide when trying to adapt. This story is acted and told passionately in both a humorous and touching way. It is about love, father and son, family, and finding your roots, that anyone can relate to. Have watched it now several times, and each time see some subtle nuance that adds even more depth to the story. Stunning scenery, and beautiful musical score!
People who don't get this film don't realize it was based on the real life experience of an Sicilian immigrant, who co-wrote the script. The message about family, language and the challenge of adjusting to a new culture was recently recognized by the Socially Relevant Film Festival in NYC, where it won best picture.
