Directed by Nancy Savoca • 1982 • United States
Starring Marianne Leone Cooper, Jo Deodato Clark, Carla Wynn

With her very first short film, made while she was a student at NYU, director Nancy Savoca explores what would become a hallmark of her work—the push-pull between generations—through an affecting, vividly naturalistic portrait of a struggling New York City mother (Marianne Leone Cooper) whose desire for a divorce bumps up against her family’s traditional Catholic values.
