After 30 years in Brighton Beach, big Genovefa, her tiny husband Moishe, and his best friend Isaac the plumber embark on an absurdist journey back to Poland in search of "home." Along the way, they find that in America they will always be immigrants; in Berlin they are still Jews; and in Poland they feel like Americans.
