Synopsis:

A day to remember... Al Pacino stars in this heartwarming critically acclaimed movie about a boy, his grandfather and the lucky quarter that brings them together. Gennaro is a youngster who will do anything to earn "two bits" (a quarter - 25 cents) to get into the brand new neighbourhood movie theatre. It's a magical place where dreams can come true, but after a day of unforgettable adventures he finds his pockets are still empty...until his mischievous grandpa (Pacino) offers him an intriguing bargain! Also starring Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Two Bits is a charming coming-of-age story that everyone is sure to love.

It's a hot summer day in 1933 in South Philly, where 12-year old Gennaro lives with his widowed mom and his ailing grandpa, who sits outside holding tight to his last quarter, which he's promised to Gennaro and which Gennaro would like to have to buy a ticket to the plush new movie theater. But grandpa's not ready to pass on the quarter or pass on to his final reward: he has some unfinished business with a woman from his past, and he enlists Gennaro to act as his emissary.
