New York City
Mama Lena dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Her son, Walter Lee, has other plans, however: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Her daughter, Beneatha, dreams of medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama. Sacrifice, trust and love among the Younger family and their heroic struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a searing and timeless document of hope and inspiration.
