Feisty firecracker Hagar Shipley has lived an unconventional life. Her passionate heart has always ruled her head and her choices have put her at odds with family and friends. With her life nearly behind her, she sets out in search of a way to reconcile herself to her turbulent past. Through her reflections we come to know a passionate and rebellious young bride, her love for her two son, the freedoms she claimed, and the joys she denied herself. Based on the best selling novel by Margaret Laurence.

Reader's Reviews
Outstanding brilliant fil. A must see for those who appreciate fine acting and excellent cinematography. Burstyn is ideal in her role as Hagar. Overlooked is the exceptional acting of JOYCE KRENZ as Auntie Doll who looked after the young Hagar when she was disowned.
