Banana Joe
Directed by Steno
Produced by Lisa Film, Derby Cinematografica
A lighthearted action-comedy about a good-natured island farmer who stands up to mobsters and ventures into the city, blending physical comedy with a fish-out-of-water premise.
Island farmer Banana Joe helps the local community by trading his bananas for goods. When gangsters arrive with plans to construct a banana processing plant, Joe kicks them out, but the mob boss discovers that Joe is operating without a license. After the mob tips off the authorities and Joe's boat is impounded, he ventures into a big city for the first time to seek help.
