Movie description:
In the winter of 1934 a boy and his elderly cousin spend a bittersweet holiday together in Alabama before he leaves for military school.
When Buddy is abandoned by his parents at the age of 7, he is dumped in the south at the small-town home of some older unmarried cousins. Without friends of his own age, Buddy develops a close friendship with one of the older, simpler ladies, Sook and the 2 undertake many adventures together. At Christmas time, they bake 31 fruit-cakes which they give as Christmas present, even mailing them to President Roosevelt and Jean Harlowe! Although Buddy is eventually urged to move on with his life by his insistent cousin Jennie, the memories of his friendship with Sook stay with him forever.
Based on the autobiographical short story by Truman Capote, this inspirational drama tells the story of Buddy, a seven-year-old boy abandoned by his parents and living with his spinster cousins in the rural South. The film is set during the Christmas season, and presents a tender look at Buddy’s close and loving relationships with his far older relatives, Sook and Jennie.
