Nicola Bonnano, [Vincent Spano], and Andrea Bonnano, [Joaquim de Almeida], two Tuscan brothers from a long line of artisans and church restorers, find themselves out of work in 1911 and set sail for a new life in the United States, hoping to secure a future beyond their homeland.

In San Francisco’s Italian emigrant neighborhood, they take precarious jobs that test their craft and resilience. Their talents catch the eye of a rising film director, D.W. Griffith, played by Charles Dance, who is overseeing the preproduction of his historical epic Intolerance and is looking for Italian-born set designers.

They begin work on the film’s elaborate Babylonian setpieces, collaborating on large-scale designs that blend art and engineering. It is during this period that they are drawn to two young extras: Edna Bonnano, [Greta Scacchi], and Mabel Bonnano, [Désirée Nosbusch], whom they ultimately marry.

Tragedy follows when Edna dies in childbirth, a blow that fractures the brothers rather than uniting them. The narrative traces how this loss reshapes their relationship, as competition and grief pull them in different directions while their shared past keeps tugging at them.

Years later, with World War I reshaping lives, Nicola and Andrea cross paths again as the army’s camera becomes a quiet witness to the epilogue of their lives, a somber testament to the costs of ambition, kinship, and a life lived between art and upheaval.
