action
The film follows the homeless 16-year-old Allie, whose father has left the family and whose mother is in a mental hospital , through the streets of Manhattan . In his search for a meaning in his life, he crosses the paths of various interesting and bizarre people.
Jim Jarmusch's film debut is a lyrical portrait of Manhattan and 16-year-old Allie Parker, who was born in the early 1960s and has a taste for the early 1950s and late 1940s. He grew up in correctional institutions and juvenile prisons, spends his time in a wide variety of places, always makes new friends, keeps moving, and nowhere has his own home. A new culture is growing in this apparently empty space on the Lower East Side : spray can signs, scraps of music, fleeting, with no past and no future.
