Institute History
Description
Based on the novel by John Nichols
Set within a small Vermont town during the closing years of World War II, this story focuses on three characters—a 12-year-old orphan, Wendall, his aunt Sybil, and the tragic figure of her past lover, Duffy—and the raw complexities of their changing relationships. This warm and emotionally evocative, sometimes violent story is about the quest for love and identity by three torn, troubled, but loving individuals.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
