Anne Bancroft stars in this made-for-TV film about the Tillerman children, who go off in search of the mother who abandoned them. Instead, they find their grandmother (Bancroft), a stodgy woman who at first resists the children's affections. However, after much coaxing, the grandmother allows the children to stay with her, marking the beginning of a deep relationship.
