Synopsis
Theresa Connelly makes her directorial debut with her own screenplay, a semi-autobiographical romantic comedy-drama, set in working-class Detroit, about a large Polish-American family run by matriarch Jadzia Pzoniak (
Lena Olin
). Her four boys obey her, but adolescent Hala (
Claire Danes
) is rebellious and independent. Although happily married to bakery worker Bolek (
Gabriel Byrne
), Jadzia engages in an almost-open affair with Roman (
Rade Serbedzija
). Hala sneaks off for late-night trysts with her handsome neighbor Russell Schuster (
Adam Trese
), resulting in her pregnancy. After her parents learn the news, Russell is forced to marry Hala, and a big Polish wedding is planned. Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
