USA, 1951. When a group of Italian immigrants suspected to have connections with the Mafia are sent back to Italy with the brand of "undesirable", a journalist decide to inquire about the story.

1951, New York: a trial is being celebrated against a big group of Italian-Americans accused of being gangsters. The Court declares them "undesirable" and orders that they must leave the United States territory. 120 of them are sent to Genova, Italy with a ship. Upon their arrival they're received by onlookers, photographers and journalists; among them there is Giancarlo Fusco (Catania), a journalist of the Italian paper "Il Secolo XIX" who has to write a short article. While he's interviewing those strange personages, Fusco recognizes an old classmate, the anarchist Ezio Taddei and, intrigued, decides to deepen his work on this story to carry out an inquiry.—Anonymous
