"A contemporary fable: Fra Ionio, a southern Italian Franciscan monk from the 1700's becomes known as the Patron Saint of Eels. When the inhabitants of the village emigrate to Australia in the post-war migrations of the 1940s, 50s and 60s, the immortal saint decides, in heaven, to migrate with his countrymen to the state of Victoria."
