The film, set in the post-WWII 1940s, tells the story of an elderly woman, Carrie Watts (Page), who wants to return to her home, the small, rural agriculture based town (which was of course destroyed by the Depression and the Dust Bowl), where she grew up on the eve of the Great Depression, but she's frequently stopped from leaving Houston, Texas by her daughter-in-law and her overprotective son who will not let her travel alone. Her son and daughter-in-law both know that the town has long since disappeared, due to the Depression. Long-term out-migration was caused by the draw-down of all the town's able-bodied men to the wartime draft calls and by the demand for industrial workers in the war production plants of the big cities.
