Lost In Yonkers

It is New York, 1942, after the death of their mother, two young boys are sent to stay with their stern, iron-clad, German grandmother and child-like Aunt Bella while their father must travel to earn money to pay a large debt incurred to loan sharks to pay his wife’s medical bills.

During the boy’s stay, they must contend with grandma’s cold heartedness, Aunt Bella’s childish outbursts and secret romance, Uncle Louie’s involvement with the mob and Aunt Gert’s breathing and speech impediment which occurs only when she visits her mother.
