"This highly personal, intimate work traces a family history over several generations and achieves a universally timeless appeal.
The handcrafted nature of the animation gives the film its distinctive style and impact, restoring dignity to hard-working immigrant communities facing discrimination.
Deeply human and inspiring, a genuine stop-motion marvel: No Dogs or Italians Allowed, by Alain Ughetto."
