“Beautifully observed… a deeply touching portrait of the ageing process” – Time Out London
Eddie Belasco is a 75-year-old San Francisco native whose childhood is straight out of a Martin Scorsese film. Like most young Italian-American boys he had the utmost respect for his "Ma," who continues to keep little "Junior" in check. Sixty-five years later, things haven't changed. After a long run in showbiz, Eddie is ready to call it quits. With his kids all grown up and three failed marriages behind him, and his 99-year-old mother along for the ride, Eddie is left to face his future as a retiree. Simple and sweet, JUNIOR explores the one thing we as a society fear most... growing old.
