Synopsis: Beginning on a Sunday morning and spanning the course of five tense days, a.m. Sunday is an extraordinary portrait of a family confronting where they stand in one another's worlds. This moving and subtly-rendered drama is the tale of an interracial couple, R.P. and Helen, who reach a painful turning point in their relationship. It is equally the story of their two sons, Jay and Denny, both of whom are arriving at a time in their lives when everything is in question. Fifteen-year-old Jay's romance with a white girl adds another complex layer to this cross-generational examination of how difficult it is to love and be loved in the face of difference. | ||||
