劳伊德·诺兰

George Taylor returns from WWII with amnesia. Back home in Los Angeles, while trying to track down his old identity, he stumbles onto a 3-year old murder case and a hunt for a missing $2 million

在大约1900年的布鲁克林，尽管贫穷和爸爸的酗酒，诺兰一家的生活还是很有乐趣的。我们通过大、小的麻烦来了解这些人：茜茜姨妈的可耻的一连串“丈夫”；从他们的公寓中可以看到那棵树；年轻的弗朗西想要转学到更好的学校……是否不负责的爸爸可以一起行动呢？
