English Summary:

Lost in Yonkers is a 1993 American comedy-drama film adaptation of Neil Simon's 1991 Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, directed by Martha Coolidge. It stars Irene Worth, Mercedes Ruehl, and Richard Dreyfuss. It was the first theatrical feature film to be edited on Avid Media Composer.

In 1942 in the Bronx, Evelyn Kurnitz has just died following a lengthy illness. Her husband, Eddie Kurnitz, needs to take a job as a traveling salesman to pay off the medical bills incurred. Eddie decides to ask his stern and forbidding mother, from whom he is slightly estranged, if his two early-teen sons, Jay and Arty (whom their Grandma calls by their full given names, Yakob and Arthur), can live with her and their Aunt Bella Kurnitz in Yonkers. His mother refuses at first but reluctantly agrees after Bella threatens to leave her if the boys aren't allowed to stay.

Despite their Grandmother owning and operating a candy store, Jay and Arty don't like their new living situation. They are afraid of their cold and distant Grandmother and find it difficult to relate to their crazy Aunt Bella, whose slow mental state is manifested by perpetual excitability and a short attention span, which outwardly comes across as a childlike demeanor. Into their collective lives returns one of Eddie and Bella's other siblings, Louie Kurnitz, a henchman for gangsters. He is hiding out from Hollywood Harry, who wants what Louie stole and which he is hiding in a small black bag.

Hungarian Summary:

Eddie a közelmúltban veszítette el a feleségét. A frissen megözvegyült férfi nehéz döntés előtt áll: határoznia kell fiai jövőjéről. Bármennyire nem szívesen teszi, meg kell kérnie Kurnitz nagyit, hogy ameddig jövedelmező állást nem talál, gondoskodjon a gyermekeiről, Jay-ről és Artyról. A fiúk így közelebbről is megismerkednek a kissé érdes modorú nagyi világával, a népes, ámde kifejezetten különc rokonsággal: Louie bácsival, a család feketebárányával, valamint Bella nénivel és annak kissé furcsa széptevőjével, aki egy moziban dolgozik.
