"Summary: Set in 1919, a year after the end of World War I, this film is based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway. It tells of a young man who, after his time at the front, returns to his hometown to find, not only that he has outgrown the place, but that any love he might have had for his family and friends has become blunted as a result of his experiences. Despite all efforts to make him feel welcome, his sense of dislocation is something that cannot be resolved at home and after a climactic scene between him and his mother, he leaves town. The role of Harold Krebs, the soldier who finds the friendliness of the townspeople oppressive and the idea of settling amongst them disagreeable, is played by Richard Backus and that of his mother by Nancy Marchand. Awards: International Film Festival, Chicago."

He's outgrown his old life and now needs peace and quiet to work things out for himself. Yet he's pressured by his loving but misunderstanding mother (Nancy Marchand: "The Sopranos") to rejoin a community in which he feels alien.
