"All Saints of Newark" is a crime film directed by Alan Taylor and released in Europe and America in 2021. Set against the backdrop of an Italian mob family, the film follows protagonist Dick's complicated relationship with his father and his forbidden love affair with a small island beauty, Livia Sepina. Elements such as gangster business, racial conflict and domestic violence are intertwined in the film, presenting a confusing and thought-provoking story to the audience.

At the beginning of the film, Dick took his son to the pier to pick up his father. Dick's father is the boss of the gang, and he himself is one of the workers of the gang. He often handles gang business, goes to karaoke halls and dance halls, and connects with his brothers. However, he doesn't rely solely on violence to solve problems like his father. When black riots broke out in the streets of Italy, Dick turned a blind eye and only cared about his own business. This selfish and indifferent attitude eventually led to a series of unintended consequences.

After Livia Sepina, a beauty from a small island country brought back by his father, appeared, Dick's family began to have dinner and let everyone know her. Dick's father was a domestic abuser and often beat Livia Sepina, even pushing her down the stairs. Unable to bear this life, Livia Sepina confides in Dick and has a forbidden affair with him. Although Dick knew that he already had a wife, he couldn't resist the temptation of the young and beautiful Livia Sepina, and the two began to live together secretly.

At the same time, the black riots on the streets of Italy continued to escalate, and the actions of the police made the situation even more chaotic. A black youth, Hopalon Cassidy, turned from a bystander to a rioter during the riots, throwing Molotov cocktails. In order to maintain order, the police shot and killed several blacks, causing other blacks to run away in fright.

There is growing tension between Dick and his father, especially when it comes to Livia Sepina, who are constantly bickering. Eventually, the dispute escalated into violent confrontation, and Dick kowtowed to his father's head with all his might, eventually killing him. This accident made Dick deeply involved in sin, and he could not escape the darkness of the past.
