Enid Zentelis directs this popular Sundance hit. Follow this coming-of-age story about a troubled teenage girl who arrives in a new town and, along with her mother, moves in with her grandmother.

Addie Land plays the young girl. Cara Seymour is her mother. Mary Kay Place and Bruce Davison are the ideal parents she admires. Gary Farmer plays a Native American who befriends her mother.
