Plot: A young man in the 1940s raises a family in Alabama after his wife leaves him for an Englishman and moves to England. When the wife dies, she leaves a request to be brought back to Alabama to be buried, and at that point, the man hasn't seen her in nearly thirty years. The two families, her original family she abandoned, and her English family, meet and make an attempt to adjust to each other, with uneven results.
Alternative Plot: After his ex-wife's death, a Southern patriarch (Robert Duvall) and his offspring meet the British family for whom she left them.
