Princess

A restless household teeters on the brink of upheaval when General Percival Smith proposes moving his family from bustling New York to a remote Virginia farm. His daughters, Norma and Blanche, erupt in fierce protest, painting the countryside as a bleak wasteland of cattle, snakes and endless solitude. Their mother, caught between a husband’s resolve and her children’s turmoil, strives to keep the peace while the family’s future hangs in uncertainty.

Amid the discord, the family’s eldest son, Warner, battles a fragile health that the city’s smog only worsens. Doctors whisper that only the clean, open air of the countryside might restore his failing lungs. As the prospect of a new life looms, the mother’s devotion to her children becomes both her anchor and her burden, prompting her to weigh duty, love, and the promise of renewal in a world she has never known.
