Horton Foote’s classic American drama tells the story of Carrie Watts, an elderly woman, who longs to escape the cramped Houston apartment where she lives with her son, Ludie, and her daughter-in-law, Jessie Mae. Carrie longs to return to her beloved hometown of Bountiful, Texas, one final time before she dies. She escapes to the bus station and begins the trip to Bountiful, befriending a young woman, Thelma, on the bus. When she arrives in nearby Harrison, Texas, she begins to learn that Bountiful isn’t the same as she remembered it.
