Synopsis

The owner of a small Brooklyn restaurant considers selling his establishment to a big corporation as part of an urban-renewal project. So the closing of this local restaurant concerns a number of employees who've dedicated their lives to the eatery. This intimate ensemble drama tells the interconnected stories of a group of racially diverse New Yorkers who rub elbows in Raskin's, a venerable Brooklyn diner and NYC institution whose Jewish owner has just revealed he plans to sell off the place to make way for condominiums and newer, more gentrified establishments. Told over the course of a single workday, the film challenges conventional assumptions about class and racial identity. If you think you know everyday people by what they look like ... you better think again.
