Synopsis
1913 en Toscane - Le maître-maçon Bonnano restaure une église, aidé par ses sept fils dont deux, Nicola et Andrea, qui décident d'aller tenter leur chance aux États-Unis. Ils iront de déconvenue en désillusion, jusqu'à ce jour de 1914 où le hasard les mène à San Francisco. Là, le réalisateur David Wark Griffith prépare son nouveau film, Intolérance, et engage deux maîtres-maçons italiens pour en réaliser les décors. Les deux frères se font passer pour eux mais, leur supercherie découverte, se font renvoyer. Ils rencontrent alors deux figurantes de la production, Edna et Mabel, qui les poussent à réaliser une sculpture monumentale en carton-pâte, d'un éléphant. Ils parviennent à la présenter au metteur en scène qui, impressionné, les embauche.Actors
