In 1943, several people enter, re-enter, and exit the difficult life of a Midwestern family whose patriarch has been called up to war, leaving behind his wife and two teen daughters.
Editor's Verdict
"This film is a WWII-era drama focusing on family separation and endurance. It does not feature Christmas as a setting, plot device, or significant thematic element, placing it firmly outside typical Christmas movie classifications."
