Cinema in the church (2)

New York, the 1940s: A tragic car accident changes the lives of twelve-year-old Lou and her younger brother Oz. The father dies in the process, the mother becomes a care case and is no longer responsive. Lou's great-great-grandmother takes care of the children, but this means a radical change. The woman lives in the mountains of Virginia on a farm without electricity or running water. For Lou and her brother, life without prosperity is difficult at first, but gradually they get used to it. When natural gas is found under the property, the ideal world threatens to break apart. The perfidious operators of a mining company are trying to drive the family out at all costs. "THE PROMISE" is based on the bestseller "WISH YOU WELL" by the successful American author David Baldacci, who wrote the screenplay for the feature film version himself.
