The Seduction of Mimi

Mimì is a poor laborer who is pressured by his employers to vote for the mafia candidate in a local election. Frustrated by the system and assured that the ballot will be secret, Mimì votes for the communist representative, instead. However, he is fired and assured he will never work again, as the ballot was not secret. Disgusted, Mimì flees to Turin, while his wife, Rosalia, stays in Sicily.
