Drama127 min
An Irish orphan grows up in early-1900s Scotland under the pull of two very different elders, one encouraging his ambitions and the other determined to keep him in his place. Tom Drake is the young man who dreams of studying medicine at university, while Charles Coburn is the great-grandfather who urges him forward. As he comes of age, school, class expectations, and family conflict shape his path at home and beyond.
