Meet Felicissimo, Felix, Fee.

He’s a happy-go-lucky, fun-loving fellow who likes a night out on the

town, a good time with a woman, a cigar and a shot. For all that, he’s

an enterprising immigrant who works hard as a machinist, saves his money

and cherishes friendship and family. He believes in America the Melting

Pot, fair play and freedom.

On a wintry night in Cincinnati in 1935, his world turns ugly. This

gentle man (unless provoked) who bears no ill will finds himself wanted

by the police, boxed in by circumstances beyond his control. A friend

who could provide an alibi betrays him in his hour of need. Fearing the

authorities, he becomes a man on the run.

But this stranger who speaks broken English doesn’t know how to behave

like a fugitive. When he lands in Trump, a tiny town on the

Maryland-West Virginia border, he draws attention with his Hollywood

good looks, strong work ethic and zest for life – in short, by

being Fee, by being himself.

Despite his problems, and with little regard for himself – some

consider him simply a fool – he enriches those he meets in subtle and

not-so-subtle ways as he confronts racism, physical and sexual abuse,

and the artificial boundaries placed on the human spirit.
