Externalities

Tuscany, 1950. A chance encounter between two young people on the street marks the beginning of a whirlwind romance. Yolanda and Clemente Gallorini are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime as they begin to build a life together. No one ever suspects it will end in suspense, intrigue, and tragedy.

Join multiple generations of Gallorinis in this family saga, beginning with the story of a young couple’s move from Tuscany to Toronto in 1950. Through the second generation-Marie, Ana, and Michael-the saga continues all across Canada, from Yellowknife to Vancouver, from Collingwood to Penticton. No one can predict the twists and turns of this family’s story as they navigate relationships, disappointment, and jealousy. Through the lows of discrimination and rejection and the highs of success and love, the story of the Gallorini family depicts the trials and tribulations of the immigrant experience. Family dynamics are constantly shifting, and ambition threatens to cloud judgement as Marie, Ana, and Ana’s husband, David, a retired member of the RCMP, undertake a legal battle over an inheritance and the investigation of tragic family mystery.

A multi-generational saga, Externalities showcases a full cast of characters to portray the experience of one family’s immigration and life in Canada.
