Summary
Elderly Italian sisters share an apartment in the inner city and speak to each other only on Easter, Christmas and shopping days. Years ago something happened to cause the rift between them and they only live together because the neighborhood is unsafe. When two young toughs try to steal their valuables, their brother the Priest saves the day. He forces the street kids to move in with the old ladies as an experiment in love and understanding. As the worm turns, lessons are learned by all.
