Synopsis
Ancien étudiant libéral des années 1960 devenu détective privé de Chicago, le solitaire Moses Wine reçoit, un jour, la visite d'une ancienne petite amie de lycée, Lila Shea. Celle-ci lui demande d'enquêter sur la disparition du candidat pour qui elle travaille, un certain Miles Hawthorne, qui postule pour devenir le nouveau gouverneur de la Californie. Un flyer circule dans l’État le montrant associé, dans les années 1960, avec son opposant radical Howard Eppis. Une photo qui peut discréditer Hawthorne et le faire perdre aux élections. Sans s'en rendre compte, Wine est sur le point d'être impliqué dans une affaire d’État dangereuse où sont impliqués des politiciens véreux et qui pourrait déclencher des attentats dans les rues de Los Angeles.Actors

The film takes place in Brooklyn, beginning near the conclusion of the Second World War. Reuven Malter is a middle-class Modern Orthodox Jewish teenager, and the son of David Malter, a college professor and dedicated Zionist. At a baseball game between their schools, Reuven meets Danny Saunders, another Jewish teenage boy. At first, the meeting is one of enmity since Danny accidentally injures Reuven's eye during the game; this results in Reuven wearing an eye patch for a good portion of the movie. Danny goes to Reuven's house to apologize to him and the teens gradually become friends, despite their differing backgrounds. It turns out that Danny is the eldest son of a Hasidic Rebbe, the dynastic leader the Hasidic Jews in that neighborhood. However, Danny is somewhat distant from him. Danny has also been going to the nearby public library and reading books on psychology. He amazes Reuven with his ability to remember word-for-word what he has read. It turns out that Reuven's father has been showing him these books. Reuven and Danny also go to a Sabbath service in Danny's Hasidic community as Danny is eager for Reuven to meet his father. Danny's father approves of their friendship - however, Rebbe Saunders disapproves of Prof. Malter's writings, which doesn't surprise the professor. Rebbe Saunders also wishes for Danny to become a rabbi and to eventually succeed him in leading his Hasidic community, as this has been tradition for several generations, but Danny doesn't seem very eager to pursue this.
