A Russian immigrant takes great pride in his transformation into a true American, navigating life in New York's Lower East Side during the late 1800s, a neighborhood dominated by fellow Jewish newcomers. His life is turned upside down when his wife arrives from Europe, presenting a stark contrast to his assimilated identity. As she struggles to adapt to their new environment, their differing approaches to culture and identity create tension, forcing both to confront their own choices and the realities of immigrant life in America.
