A pair of Italian con men travel to Albania in the aftermath of Communism's collapse, hoping to take advantage of the ravaged economy by setting up a sham corporation and appointing a senile old man as its figurehead. But the ruse fails when the puppet CEO wanders away from the orphanage where he'd been stowed, leading one of the cons on an eye-opening quest through the slums.

Reviews for Lamerica
The film’s intention is to put a human face on a complex situation, and while this is successful, it is the depth of the film’s characters that draws the audience’s empathy.
A mesmerizing film that will soften your heart towards the plight of refugees all over the world.
Chocked full of universal messages the director feels impelled to get across.
