A modern classic, the central character is a longshoreman who, though of limited intelligence and articulacy, is an admirable man
When two of his wife's Italian cousins are smuggled into the country, he makes room for them in his home
Gratefully they move in with his family, including the teenage niece whom he has brought up and whom he has come to love, or so he thinks, as a daughter
When one of the illegal immigrants falls in love with his benefactor's niece, the kind and loving uncle suddenly becomes violently opposed to this romance, an opposition founded on a far too intense love for his niece
The stage is set for tragedy
