Upon discovering a weathered crayon drawing in an old family trunk, Ira is transported back to a magical summer in 1965. As an eleven-year-old girl relishing her last days of freedom before beginning work on her family's beet farm, Ira befriended a young migrant worker hired by her father.

    This movie was pretty entertaining as a kid. Tony Danza had a really likable quality about him. And you gotta love the garbage man aspect of his character. It's what kept him humble.
    a good family movie.
