导演相信移民会是新世纪的重大主题，所以在本片中，莎士比亚的罗密欧变成了一个西西里少年，而他的心上人则是一名尼日利亚少女。此类电影可以记录和表达移民人口的迁徙感。当每一个人似乎都生活在一个新的地点，去别处旅行，形成耶尔所谓的“全球灵魂”时，流散电影就成为民族和区域文化取得广泛共鸣的另一种方式。

In Roberta Torre's "true story of Romeo and Julet", Toni Giulietto is a vulnerable street singer and Little Tony-impersonator (who is himself an Italian Elvis-impersonator) who is constantly deceived and hoodwinked by almost everyone he knows. Romea is an attractive Nigerian immigrant who sells sex on the streets of Palermo to pay off her huge fee to the man who smuggled her in to the country. Various characters plot against each other and the plots, which draw in people from all the different social strata, spiral out of control as the tug-of-war between these different factions of Sicilian society is fought to the last.
