The enchanting, harshly beautiful wilds of Taos, New Mexico are home to 11-year-old Bo Groden and her free-thinking family. While yearning for escape from the sparse environment, Bo passes the time with flair and imagination. Arlene, Bo’s warm, earthy and eccentric mother, raises most of the family’s food in her vegetable garden (which she prefers to tend in the nude). Meanwhile, Bo’s father, Charley, the embodiment of the Old West masculinity, is losing the battle with his inner demons. When William Gibbs, a hapless IRS agent with demons of his own arrives, he soon proves to be a catalyst in the lives of the family. A magical and inspiring story brought to life by Campbell Scott. From a play by Joan Ackerman, who adapted the material for the screen. Produced by Campbell Scott and George Van Buskirk. Executive producers: David Newman and Martin Garvey. Cinematographer: Juan Ruiz Anchia. Music by Gary DeMichele.
