Avalon (1990)
Nel 1914 emigra a Baltimora dalla natìa Polonia un baldo giovane ebreo: è Sam Krichinsky che, insediatosi nel quartiere di Avalon, comincia a lavorare tappezzando pareti di carte a fiori. L'America appare come la terra promessa: tutti gli immigrati europei si fanno appena possibile raggiungere da mogli, figli e cugini e ben presto anche i Krischinsky sono numerosi, sempre attaccati alle loro tradizioni e validi lavoratori. Gli anni trascorrono: Sam, il più conservatore, si trasferisce con la moglie Eva da Avalon in periferia, dapprima un pò squallida, poi sempre più curata e ricca di verde, per vivere con il figlio Jules, il quale è diventato un bravissimo giovane, con la nuora Anna ed il simpatico nipotino Michael. .............
