Acla's Descent into Floristella
Set in Sicily in the 1930's, Aurelio Grimaldi's feature debut chronicles the harsh story of twelve-year-old boy, Aclà, sold into slavery by his destitute parents to work in the underground Floristella sulfur mines.

Repeatedly beaten and abused by his "owner" and with constant threats of being raped, Aclà plots his escape to the sea...
