Introduction:

19 13 years, on a desolate island, Sicilian local residents lived a quiet and comfortable life, and generations worked hard and thrived on this land. The sudden arrival of an American broke all this. The American with gold teeth traveled around, talking about people in Sicily, saying that the outside world was so prosperous, people there lived in heaven, there was gold everywhere, and everyone was rich. In the outside world, potatoes are as big as train carriages, carrots are as long as boats, trees are covered with gold coins, and gold coins fall like leaves. Not only that, the "stranger" also took out photos to prove his absurd words to people here, and said that his task now is to accompany those who left Sicily and enjoyed life in the bustling world. A member of the Mancuso family (a resident of Sicily) has left Sicily for the bustling world. The whole family is waiting for his news, and the American brought his news. In order to become citizens of a prosperous new world, people in Sicily must give up their existing living conditions in order to be reborn. They have to give up their beliefs, their homes, and train themselves to be strong and learn to obey. Only by successfully changing from "primitive people" to "modern people" can they cross the Golden Gate leading to a prosperous new world. It will take several weeks to trek across the ocean to reach "Island of Tears" and "Island of Alice"-the places where they are finally put to the test. The gatekeeper of the new world is responsible for testing them item by item, and their body and mind must meet the requirements of "present people" In this place leading to heaven, it is like hell, and many families have to make a choice. Not everyone can enter this gate, but some people are destined to cross the Golden Gate. ...

Although director Emmanuel Criales was born and raised in Italy, this is the first time Emmanuel Criales has been selected into the competition unit of Venice Film Festival. His first novel Once a Stranger was a blockbuster in Sundance, and his last and third work Paradise Beach caused a sensation in Cannes. In Kinmen, he followed the consistent humanistic care and told a story about dreams and discovery, hope, sadness and redemption. In his own words: "My film is not about immigration, but about the desire to change life and the exploration of the unknown. This requires great courage and a leap of faith. For me, no matter who has such courage, he is a hero. "

The "Golden Gate" in the title is a symbol of the United States, the new world pursued by the Mancuso family, but it has a deeper religious meaning. Jesus said, "Take the narrow door. Because it leads to destruction, the door is wide, the road is big and there are many people. The road to eternal life is narrow and small, and few people are looking for it. "
