Based on a true story, Bettinger’s Luggage follows a Jewish family and their friends on the Lower East Side in the 1970s as they struggle to find success, love, and happiness. Lou Bettinger runs a luggage shop inherited from his father that he plans to pass on to his son, George, who wants nothing to do with the shop. Amidst the tension with George, Lou must contend with his sister Bessie, who thinks she knows best how to run the store, his employee Angel—who feels more like a son than George does—and a young girl facing abuse from her husband.
