In 1961, Robert Young and Michael Roemer shot a gritty documentary in Palermo’s Cortile Cascino, a slum reserved for rag pickers and scavengers. Thirty years later, Young’s son and daughter-in-law go back to Sicily to pick up the story of Angela Capra, her now ex-husband, and their children. Black and white footage from 1961 is intercut with color footage from the 90’s. Much has changed: Angela’s leaving her husband gives her a sense of rebirth. And much is the same: unemployment, petty crimes, and early death. Throughout, family members credit the power of “destina” (fate) to determine their lives.
