Movie Info

In this tragic melodrama, a lonely child must stay with her uncaring aunt and uncle after her mother is hospitalized. Her estranged father is a fugitive.

This causes great internal conflict as the girl doesn't know whether to tell the truth or be loyal to her father. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Modest family drama that gets the most out of its slight story because the acting is top-notch.
