SUMMARY
 |
It's 1973, and Tommy
is a 13-year-old boy living in New York's Greenwich
Village with his mother, who is still coming to terms
with the death of her husband. Tommy's best friend
is Pappass , a mentally challenged man who is in his
thirties, but is at the same emotional age as Tommy;
Pappass delivers meat for a local butcher, and Tommy
helps him out. Tommy has discovered women, and has
a crush on Melissa, a cute girl in his class, but
Pappass isn't much interested in the opposite sex,
and can offer little advice on the subject. Tommy's
lone confidante on this issue is Lady Bernadette,
a woman locked up in the nearby Women's House of Detention
who offers advice shouted from her window. When Pappass
begins to realize that Tommy is falling for Melissa,
he's convinced he's losing his best friend, and in
a moment of anger he steals a bicycle. Tommy tries
to protect Pappas by claiming he was the thief, leading
to a series of serious repercussions. Years later,
Tommy is a grown man who leaves his home in Paris,
France, to pay a visit to the old neighborhood and
come to terms with the life he left behind.
