Rags tells the story of a naive Russian immigrant, Rebecca. She has just arrived in America with her young son and they are struggling to make a living. While looking for her husband, who arrived in America earlier, she works in a sweatshop. When she is finally reunited with her husband, she finds herself at odds with her husband's rejection of their ethnic culture and their assimilation into American culture.
