1942年，阿尔奇·格拉斯正试图进入好莱坞，想实现他的好莱坞之梦，而这也开始了一段你从未见过的黑人洛杉矶之旅

父亲经营着一家皮艺店，母亲则在工厂负责皮包的设计和制作，他们对这门生意倾注了极大的感情和心力，却仍是经营惨淡，债主会不期而至。父亲决定以全店皮具五折的方式促销，起初似乎还挺有效，慢慢地作用却不再明显。母亲开始责怪父亲的经营方式和能力，平时在别处总是有一套套道理的父亲，此时却无言以对，懊恼地抽自己的嘴巴。家里家外的波折低落总是会过去，父亲和母亲还是满心祈愿：从明天，也许就能慢慢好起来吧。平淡甚至细碎的生活细节缓缓铺展：父亲想尽一切办法希望女儿长高，母女为店里收成不错的一天鼓掌欢呼，狭窄的过道里女儿为新的皮包充当模特……生活似乎总是艰难局促，而三个人的家庭里，一种难以名状的情感，却在这个过程里捉紧人们的呼吸。
