New York's Third Avenue runs sixteen miles from Brooklyn to the Bronx. Along it's route live tens of thousands of New Yorkers, some well-to-do, some barely scraping by. Thirds Avenue, the film, is an urban survival tale of six of those last. Eddie works, in an auto junkyard by day; by night, he steals cars. Trudy, a welfare mother lives in a burned-out building in the Bronx; no heat, no hot water, lots of rats. and then there are the Pascones, Third Avenue residents for 50 years. When Mama Pascone puts a bowl of her spaghetti on the table, the whole family remembers again that family trumps all.
