SYNOPSIS

The last day of the 1948 summer is a day eleven year-old Kath (Jennifer Miller) can be all the things she wants to be--pirate captain, Tarzan, or marble champion. Because she's entering the sixth grade on Monday, her mother (Radha Delamarter) has decided that Kath must get her pigtails cut off and a perm in her hair. Her mother's desire to rearrange Kath's hair is meant to change more than her looks.  Kath's father (Bill Vint), who helped her build a clubhouse and taught her to play baseball, is caught in the middle.

This beautifully reminiscent film captures the heart of small town America while transcending both time and place. All audiences will enjoy this genuine tale of conformity and growing pains.
