Synopsis
|
 Set
in a quaint fishing community on the outskirts of New York
City, City Island is a hilarious and touching tale about
a family whose comfortable co-existence is upended by surprising
revelations of past secrets and present day lies.
Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) is a lifelong resident of the
tiny, tradition-steeped Bronx enclave of City Island. A
family man who makes his living as a corrections officer,
Vince longs to become an actor. Ashamed to admit his aspirations
to his family, Vince would rather let his fiery wife Joyce
(Julianna Margulies) believe his weekly poker games are
a cover for an extramarital affair than admit he's secretly
taking acting classes in Manhattan.
When Vince is asked to reveal his biggest secret in class,
he inadvertently sets off a chaotic chain of events that
turns his mundane suburban life upside down. Inspired by
the exercise, he decides to bring his long-lost ex-con son
Tony (Steven Strait) home to meet the family, and it soon
becomes clear that everyone-including his college student
daughter (Dominik García-Lorido), teenaged son Vinnie,
Jr. (Ezra Miller), charismatic acting partner (Emily Mortimer)
and drama coach (Alan Arkin)- has something to hide. A perfect
storm of deception, half truths and confusion makes Vince
and his family members realize that the truth may not set
them free, but it is easier to keep track of than all their
well-intentioned white lies.
