the rusted mean streets of Coney Island, Brooklyn. The dual
storyline parallels four people who set out in pursuit of a better
life. On the one hand, there's Sara, portrayed by Oscar® winner
Ellen Burstyn, a lonely widowed mother who is galvanized by the
prospect of appearing on television. Then there's her son Harry
(Jared Leto), his beautiful girl Marion (Jennifer Connelly) and his
best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans), who want to go into business for
themselves. Soon their beautiful dreams begin to fall apart as they
take on horrifying dimensions, yet Sara, Harry, Marion and Tyrone
refuse to abandon hope. Even when everything falls apart, they
refuse to let go, plummeting with their dreams in a nightmarish
gut-wrenching freefall. |
