It’s July 4, 1952. The lives of two neighboring families in the San Fernando Valley will never be the same. It’s the 25th birthday of beautiful Amy who is questioning her marriage to Russell. But Harris- Russell’s older brother and Amy’s former love interest- unexpectedly shows up and turns everyone’s life upside down.
It’s the dawn of the housing boom in the Valley. Times are changing. People have new dreams, and some old ways may be left behind, to the chagrin of folks clinging to their old traditions.
Sibling conflicts and long-buried family secrets come to the fore and decisions must be made: Will Russell follow his father’s path as a dentist or pursue his real estate dreams? Will Harris remain a member of the Silent Generation or sign a Loyalty Oath? Will it be a Happy 4th of July?
Written by Barbara Nell Beery. Directed by Asaad Kelada.
Ages: 12 to Adult
