But Now Is Perfect (2018)

God, or fate, has brought Becky Moses to Europe via Libya from her native country Nigeria, on the run for an arranged marriage with an elderly man. Never would she have thought she would end up in Riace, a mountain village in Calabria (southern Italy) that has become world famous by its open-door policy for immigrants by the flamboyant mayor Domenico Lucano. Through the eyes of Becky and her fellow villagers, we witness how the shrunken Italian community lives together with the new, mostly African, inhabitants.
