A stately, visually sumptuous meditation on the decline of aristocratic power and the bittersweet necessity of adaptation in the face of historical change.

As Garibaldi's troops begin the unification of Italy in the 1860s, an aristocratic Sicilian family grudgingly adapts to the sweeping social changes undermining their way of life.
