Can there be peace between Brooklyn and the Upper East Side?  Silver Spoon is a love story about the dividing lines of heritage and class.

Set in the late 1960s against the background of the grape boycott led by Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers of America, it's about parents and grandparents who, proud of the institutions they've helped build, want their children and grandchildren to carry on after them - and, in the process, to justify the work they've done and the choices they've made.

But, for the grandchildren and children, “going into the family business” just isn't enough, whether that business is a multi-national investment bank or “the Party,” an international political organization.  They share the vision and passion that is part of their history, but they have ideas and lives of their own.

In Silver Spoon, the struggle to honor your family commitments, while still becoming the person you want and need to be, rages through the generations, and across the lines of class and ethnicity.  Can true love cross the East River?  Or are the barriers that divide us sometimes simply too deep and wide?
