Foxfire

Her heart belongs to the land, but the future belongs to her children.

Annie Nations has spent her whole life in the Blue Ridge Mountains, most of it with her husband, Hector. He's gone five years now, buried back in the orchard, but he's never that far away... slipping into her thoughts, watching her do the chores... still thinking he knows best even now when her country singer son (John Denver) is pressuring her to sell the farm. But in the autumn of her life, Annie Nations will decide for herself whether to hold on to what she's always known or follow her heart to the other side of the mountain. Jessica Tandy radiates dignity in her Emmy Award-winning performance as the proud mountain woman caught between the traditions of the past and the pressure of modern life. And Hume Cronyn is superb as her cherished mate who haunts her memories as clearly as the sweet mountain melodies that flow through the seasons of their lives.
