About to close the immigrant centre on Ellis Island, its director, John Mitchell, writes in a diary the memories of those who passed through and his own: those of Liz, his wife, and those of Nella, an immigrant from Sardinia with a mysterious past. Between exile and transgression, his account is that of a man trapped by the ghosts of an American dream that is fading.
