A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy about a Jewish teenager navigating puberty and family life in Depression-era Brooklyn, told with affectionate humor and fourth-wall-breaking charm.

He goes through the hardships of puberty, sexual fantasy, and living the life of a poor boy in a crowded house.
