Eugene, a young teenage Jewish boy, recalls his memoirs of his time as an adolescent youth. He lives with his parents, his aunt, two cousins, and his brother, Stanley, whom he looks up to and admires. He goes through the hardships of puberty, sexual fantasy, and living the life of a poor boy in a crowded house.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie's plot focuses entirely on adolescent struggles and family dynamics during a general period of time. The only noted element is a 'Holiday Release,' which is irrelevant to the film's content. There are no indications that the Christmas season is integrated into the setting, plot, or themes in any meaningful way."
