In the film shot by Andrea Cavarretta, an American who emigrated to the United States and returned to Italy after the Second World War, a bird's-eye view shows a lush garden full of vines, citrus trees, almond, fig and pomegranate trees. In the middle of a sunny lane, among the plants, the bright red of clear glass tomato sauce bottles stands out. The garden is animated by a dozen or so people of various ages and genders, busy picking and tasting figs and other fruit. The sequence ends with a group toast in the middle of the garden, with liqueur wine, facing the camera.
