A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints

A coming-of-age drama about writer/director Dito Montiel's youth, the film captures the mid-1980s in the toughest neighborhood of Astoria, Queens. Dito (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.), called home after 15 years because his father (CHAZZ PALMINTIERI) is ill, encounters old friends?the ones he lost, the ones he left behind, the ones he can't help but remember. These are Dito's "saints." An honest account of a bittersweet return to a neighborhood where relationships can never be what they once were, Dito's story is about coming to terms with a father's rage and a father's love.
