Описание:

For Pearse, an Irish-Catholic kid during the 1950s in San Francisco's North Beach, growing up is not an easy task. He serves morning mass at Saints Peter and Paul church, takes Sunday "tours" with his grandfather M.J. to Blum's Cafe for lemon-crunch cake, swims at the local Crystal Plunge..... But when tragedy hits the family, Pearse starts to doubt all he has accepted, including his religious upbringing. Outside the church doors he discovers a new, fascinating life: that of the beatniks, full of spontaneity and abandon. He is drawn especially to the unruly crowd in the Caffe Trieste, where he samples bitter espresso and listens to revolutionary poetry -- all against his parents' orders.

Описание:

Infamous Mexican muralist Jes s L zaro comes to San Francisco from Mexico--where he had painted the exteriors of churches despite objections by the Catholic Church and the Mexican government. The artist sees the massive cathedral of Saint Mary of The Assumption of San Francisco, at the corner of Gough and Geary Streets, and determines he must paint the entire exterior with grand murals. Archbishop Ruben Mullins refuses the artist, and therein lies the conflict. The dispute sparks protests in the street, gets the attention of the Vatican, sets off a disastrous love triangle, and may or may not invoke the wrath of God.
