The story

In 1959 Chicago, the Younger family is expecting a life insurance check of $10,000 after the death of Walter Lee’s father. Walter Lee, an impoverished limousine driver, wants to invest the money in a liquor store with his partner Bobo, hoping that it will put an end to his wife Ruth and son Travis' financial troubles while his sister Beneatha, who had recently accepted a date with a prosperous neighbor, George Murchinson, intends to use it to pay her medical school tuition. Lena, the mother of Walter Lee, who had just quit her job, would rather spend it on a house she and her deceased husband Walter Lee Sr.
