Set in 1959, Somewhere follows one New York City family’s attempt to make its fantasy a reality. Inez Candelaria and her three children dream of a life in show business. When they learn that their home is being torn down to make way for Lincoln Center—and that the filming of “West Side Story” will take place on the streets of their demolished neighborhood—they must fight for their dreams as their world crumbles around them.
