It is Winnie who ends up making the tough decisions–life forever with her beloved Jesse or a life with a beginning a middle and an end. Still the Tucks harbor a powerful secret no one else must know about–ever–but an evil man ( Ben Kingsley) tracks them down threatening to expose them and profit from the “secret.” Luckily things have a way of working out for the Tucks one way or another. That and the fact she and Jesse have fallen in love. ![]() Winnie realizes the Tucks are different ageless somehow but once Winnie starts to experience the Tucks’ freedom and simple way of life she contemplates never going home. He and his family–father Angus ( William Hurt) mother Mae ( Sissy Spacek) and brother Miles ( Scott Bairstow)–live hidden away in a little cabin on a lake and they warmly accept her as one of their own. Getting lost one day Winnie stumbles upon Jesse Tuck ( Jonathan Jackson) a boy unlike any she’s ever met before. In fact she’d much rather escape into the woods surrounding her house. Her domineering mother ( Amy Irving) has plans to turn her into a respectable lady but Winnie is one spirited lass who wants nothing to do with the rigid conformities of her time. Based on the award-winning children’s novel by Natalie Babbitt the story is set in 1914 as Winnie Foster ( Alexis Bledel) a rich girl on the brink of maturity longs for change in her life. ![]()
