The film won a number of festival circuit awards, including Best of Show at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2008. The film also got significant attention for how it was made, as it was written and shot in one month. The approach was developed by Angel and D'Angelo based on D'Angelo's concern that the biggest obstacle and expense driver with respect to producing a low budget film is the script.

Plot

In Sicily, a young thief who has nothing sleeps under the stars and steals and sells oranges. Thievery gets him tossed in jail where his cell mate is Turrido, who offers the thief a deal: get Turrido's ex-lover Rosalba to make a recording of her singing and Turrido will give the thief a piece of land of his own.
