For Norman and Ethel Thayer, this summer on golden pond is filled with conflict and resolution. When their daughter Chelsea arrives, the family is forced to renew the bonds of love and overcome the generational friction that has existed for years.
Generational friction boils over as a long-absent daughter returns to her aging parents' lakeside retreat. This quiet family portrait finds its soul in the fragile, shifting dynamics between three people clinging to their shared history.
