This movie was about the carusi in Sicily. Caruso was the slang name for boys in Sicily. Carusi is the plural. These were boys that poor parents rented out to wotk in the sulphur mines. They were essentially slaves during the rental period. The fi, was made in 1992. It was titled "La discesa di Aclą a Floristella" (Aclas descending into Floristella). Floristella was one of the sulphur mines. I have little information about the film at this time.
