A Grandfather's Love Story

Young, as Grampa Joe Wykowski, is a Chicago barber, whose shop is in the shadows of Wrigley Field. His wife, Lillie (Wilson), works in a bakery shop not far away. They both dote on their granddaughter, whose first stop after school is the barber shop. In fact she races there, always trying to break a record her grandfather claims to have set. The two are inseparable.

Their son Joe, Jody's father, deserted his wife, Marcia, and daughter two years ago. Lillie is convinced he'll return. So is Jody. But Marcia, who lives with her in-laws, is getting restless. An up-and-coming designer, she meets a buyer (Mitchell Laurance) from New York and is slowly breaking away. When Lillie realizes Marcia is seeing someone else, she orders her out of the house, thereby, as the saying goes, biting off her nose to spite her face.
