BREAKDOWN
CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE OF JOY
SYNOPSIS: Recently widowed Godfrey, and his daughters Ernestine and Ermina, move from Florida
to Brooklyn for a better life. Not knowing how to parent, Godfrey turns to religion, and especially to
Father Divine, for answers. The girls absorb their new surroundings, but not necessarily religion. Lily,
Godfrey’s sister-in-law, shows up from Harlem, having promised her sister that if anything ever
happened, she’d look out for the girls. Lily, while fascinating to her nieces, stands for everything
Godfrey dislikes: communism, sexual freedom and the fight against racial discrimination. As the racial
and social issues of the late 1950s escalate, personal issues between Godfrey and Lily explode,
prompting him to walk out. A few days later, he returns, with a new wife—a white, German immigrant,
Gerte. With Godfrey immersed in religion, Lily claiming to be a part of the new revolution, and quiet,
stoic Gerte coming from the horrors of Germany, life in the household gets heated. Ultimately, Lily
must leave, seeing as she’s neither Godfrey’s wife nor the girls’ mother. Godfrey and Gerte keep the
family together as best they can, but nothing lasts forever. Ernie, about to graduate from high school,
gets a job offer from her father, but it’s not what she wants to do. Instead, as a young woman in the
dawn of a new age, she sets off for Harlem in search of her spiritual mother, Lily, and all of the causes
she supposedly stood for during the “revolution.”
