Popi is a 1969 American comedy-drama film directed by Arthur Hiller. The screenplay by Tina Pine and Lester Pine focuses on a Puerto Rican widower struggling to raise his two young sons in the New York City neighborhood known as Spanish Harlem, and stars Alan Arkin and Rita Moreno.
Abraham Rodriguez, known as Popi to his sons Luis and Junior, supports them by working three jobs, leaving him little time to supervise them. He hopes to earn enough to marry his girlfriend Lupe and move the family into a better home in Brooklyn. Then reality crashes in as the boys see gangs do violence in the neighborhood and are even victimized when their clothes are stolen from them. While working at a banquet in New York for Cuban exiles, he hatches an idea. Realizing his boys have a better chance of making good as political refugees than products of the ghetto in which he's raising them, he plots to set them adrift in a rowboat off the coast of Miami Beach in the hope they will be mistaken for escapees from Cuba and offered asylum. After teaching them how to row a boat in the lake in Central Park and how to handle a motorboat on the East River, they depart for Florida.

Genres: Comedy,Wie wöhr't met nem Breef,

vierundzwanzich karötijem, pure Aujust
met Horizonte wolkelos un blau-blau,

Vun einem, dä uptank

Ich däät es janz jähn ens versööke,

Ne Breef voll Feijebäum, Zypresse un Pin'je,

Huh bovven om Birch,

all Schoofe'n Zeeje verfluche

die'n schwazze Oma blitzeblank hällt
un et nie ussjonn löht:
Dat ewije Leech.
Bunte Stöck am Strand,

öm Boote ahnzomohle un'nem Fescherjeseech.
Dä Breef jing ahn dich un ahn die,

die niemals met der Meute bellt,
die suvill anders als suvill andre,
die nix versprich un trotzdem alles hällt.
