Wonder Wheel 2017

In the hustle and bustle of 1950s Coney Island, where the buzzing crowd comes and goes trudging slowly over the wooden boardwalks, silent stories of the everyday toilers who give life to the attraction unfold. Somewhere in a clam bar, theres the sad waitress Ginny, a one-time actress and now a suffering wife whos been given a second chance by the side of the well-intentioned but uncouth carousel operator, Humpty. On the other hand, theres Humptys 26-year-old estranged daughter, Carolina, who left the familial nest and a preordained future seeking adventure as a mobsters wife; only to return home with her wings broken, begging for forgiveness. And from the lifeguards high tower, where all is in plain sight, the young and charming lifesaver and hopeful playwright, Mickey, is the inadvertent but potent catalyst that binds everything together. Shattered dreams, reckless love and betrayal, all under the bright lights of Coney Island.
