The Great New Wonderful

New York City a year after the 9/11 tragedy is the setting for Danny Leiner’s drama portraying five stories of vastly different lives in the same uncertain surroundings. A psychologist (Tony Shalhoub) and an ordinary yet angry man; two pastry purveyors (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Edie Falco); a married couple; two immigrant friends; and an older woman (Olympia Dukakis) set in her ways — they all try to rebuild their lives as the city does as well.
