The story

Eva and David are an elderly, bitter Jewish emigre couple who raised children in poverty in the Midwestern United States.

In San Francisco, Eva draws inspiration from their exuberant granddaughter Jeannie, who lives life to the fullest despite any stumbling blocks it may toss in her path.
