Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Leaving Brooklyn


Audrey is a 15 year old Jewish American girl growing up in the suburbs during the Post WWII Era. She comes from a middle class family and is comfortable, but she doesn't quite fit in because of a "bad" eye. Her parents try to hide his disfigurement by taking her to see an eye doctor who fits her with a contact lens to make it look normal. During the subsequent check ups, however, the doctor makes advances on Audrey and she loses her virginity to him. Although he is married and has kids, he becomes obsessed with her, and she is astonished because she feels very little for him.
