Description
At a funeral in an Italian sector of Brooklyn, mourners come to pay tribute to a police officer of questionable character, killed while allegedly defending the life of the Pope. Though each of the attendees has a colorful relationship with the victim, it is the policeman’s pregnant mistress who causes a sensation. Will she and her unborn baby be permitted to stay? Was the deceased a hero or just a poor slob in the wrong place at the wrong time? Insults and furies fly as the women, Italian to the core, debate the legacy of this fallen man.
