In this funny comedy, we meet a married couple from Ohio, George and Gwen Kellerman, who decide to venture to New York City for the first time. What was supposed to be an exciting trip turns into an epic odyssey of misadventures. From the moment they arrive in the city, they realize that nothing goes as planned. From losing their belongings on the train to being swept into a chaotic parade where they feel completely out of place, it’s clear that the Big Apple will not give them a break.
George, played by Jack Lemmon, is a businessman trying to keep his composure while his wife, brilliantly portrayed by Sandy Dennis, becomes increasingly frustrated by the constant surprises of the city. Each attempt to enjoy a moment turns into a mountain of obstacles, from confusion with public transportation to encounters with quirky characters that could only exist in New York. The situation escalates when the couple unwittingly gets caught up in a whirlwind of misunderstandings and comedic situations that test their relationship.
As chaos unfolds around them, George and Gwen are forced to rediscover what it truly means to be a team, facing not only the adversities of the city but also their own frustrations and fears. Thus, what began as a manageable trip turns into a hilarious, albeit exhausting, lesson in love and resilience.
