HOME

by Jeff Gillman

“HOME” is the story of two boys, cousins, who grow up together in their grandmother’s elegant old house on West 12th Street in New York City as America struggles to find its role in the world of the late ‘30’s and early 40’s. The boys share a love, which, as they grow into young men, becomes intense and demanding; and which ultimately tears them apart; a love which symbolizes for them both the very concept of home. “HOME” is set against a detailed and richly evoked portrayal of New York, together with a colorfully rendered characterization of the political currents of the era.
