Italian silkworm farmers are imported to establish a silk industry in Gouna's wilderness, where mulberry trees refuse to grow. During the harsh forest winter, the bewildered immigrants are plagued by rain, fever, and incomprehension, and grow increasingly bitter towards the government that dumped them in the wilderness under false pretenses. Silas Miggel, a forest dweller with an ungovernable daughter and a head full of plans, comes to their aid. He wants to get them on a ship, back to Italy…
