Plot
A young girl and her brother come of age at their great grandmother's house in Virginia during the 1940s. After a family tragedy, a young girl moves from New York with your younger brother to live with their great grandmother on a Virginia farm and comes closer to understanding the land and roots that inspired her father's writings while discovering herself, the love of family, and the power of truly believing.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two siblings move to their great-grandmother's Virginia farm after a family tragedy. The film is a gentle, rural coming-of-age with warm nostalgia. A wholesome family choice, if a bit sentimental.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
