Short description

A Polish-Jewish family comes to the U.S. at the beginning of the twentieth century. There, the family and their children try to make themselves a better future in the so-called promised land.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The house in the suburbs where Kaya’s family moves from Avalon is the actual childhood home of Barry Levinson.
  • Krichinsky – the family name in "Avalon" – is the maiden name of director Barry Levinson's mother.
  • The funeral scene for Eva, based on the funeral of Barry Levinson's own grandmother, featured the director's relatives. During filming, one of his cousins said, "Barry, we know what to do, we've done this before."
