Hester Street
Steven Keats performs with a Russian emigre who prides himself along how he has pushed himself into a true Yankee in the USA, though the world he lives in, New York's Lower East Side in the late 19th century, is almost exclusively populated by additional Jewish immigrants. As soon as his wife (Carol Kane) finally arrives at the New World, however, she has lots of assimilating to do. Even though it maintains a fairly light setting the majority of the time this leads to the anxiety that compels together the movie.
