Plot:
DRAMA - This fictionalized story, based on the family life of
writer James Jones, is an emotionless slice-of-life story. Jones
here is portrayed as Bill Willis (Kris Kristofferson), a former
war hero and now successful author who obviously drinks too much
and is starting to experience health problems. Living in France
with his wife (Barbara Hershey), daughter (Leelee Sobieski), and
an adopted son (Jesse Bradford), the family travels an unconven-
tional road that leaves all of them as outsiders to others. Pre-
aching a sexual freedom, his daughter's sexual acceptance begins
at an early age and betrays her when the family moves to Hanover
in America. Her sexuality is definitely not the normal for Amer-
ican teens and gives her a bad reputation and outcasts her. Mea-
nwhile her brooding brother struggles with his own inner turmoils
about his early desertion in life. Only within the tight knit
confines of his family is he comfortable to even speak.
