Om Once upon a Time in Baltimore

As children in 1918 Baltimore, Annie, an Irish-American girl, and Vince, the son of Sicilian immigrants, both lose loved ones-Annie's father and sister to the Spanish flu and Vince's brother to an auto accident. The tragedies change how each of them face the world and-after they meet and wed-how they relate to each other. Together and sometimes apart, they overcome discrimination, illness, a family rift, a son going off to war, and marital strains caused by Vince's ambitions and marital infidelity and Annie's passivity and fear of change.With its focus on the children of immigrants in a major US city, Once Upon a Time in Baltimore presents a vivid and moving picture of family struggles and triumphs amid the ever-changing social mores, historical upheavals, and dark challenges of 20th century America.
