Directed by José Carrasquillo
February 26 - March 15, 2026
Ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his newly paroled son Junior have spent a lifetime living between Riverside and crazy.
But now, the NYPD is demanding his signature to close an outstanding lawsuit, the landlord
wants him out, the liquor store is closed—and the church won’t leave him alone. When the
struggle to keep one of New York City’s last great rent-stabilized apartments collides
with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum, it seems that the old days may be dead and gone.

February 26 - March 15, 2026
Ex-cop and recent widower Walter “Pops” Washington and his newly paroled son Junior have spent a lifetime living between Riverside and crazy.
But now, the NYPD is demanding his signature to close an outstanding lawsuit, the landlord
wants him out, the liquor store is closed—and the church won’t leave him alone. When the
struggle to keep one of New York City’s last great rent-stabilized apartments collides
with old wounds, sketchy new houseguests, and a final ultimatum, it seems that the old days may be dead and gone.
