Based her grandfather’s boyhood in St. Louis, Yasmin Gorenberg tells a story of the pain passed from refugee parents to their children and the hope that can overcome it. “40 Nickels” captures the image of a generation of immigrants to the United States in the 1920’s and 1930’s and through that spotlights the effects of the 1919 pogroms in Eastern Europe. This is a film about parents and children: how trauma never leaves a family, and how hope and resilience is also passed down. It asks the question: Can a new generation look at the world with wonder rather than fear?

Конец 1980-х, нью-йоркский Бруклин. Юноша Дэвид, обучающийся в строгой ортодоксальной ешиве, помогает дедушке обустроиться в доме престарелых в их русско-еврейском районе (кстати, в этом американском фильме немного говорят и на русском языке, а также на идиш и иврите) и параллельно неожиданно находит себе сообщество по интересам — знакомится с двумя геями постарше из Ист-Виллиджа, которые и помогают ему открыть себя. Тем временем в Нью-Йорке начинается эпидемия ВИЧ.
