A Life Sentence

Frank Sobotka and his son Ziggy are both facing life sentences: Ziggy is in lockup for the murder of a Greek fence, and Frank has spent more time at the Union hall paying off bribes than caring for his family. Frank tries to console his son, assuring him the sacrifices he made as a father and husband were necessary to build a better life for them and the Polish community, but Ziggy resents his father, telling him they share only the same last name.
