David Lamb: Imagine a place way better than this. Acres of pale grass. Slash of green, down where the tamaracks and cottonwoods grow by the river. You see all that?
Tommie: Well, sort of... okay. Go.
David Lamb: There's only one road to get in. El Rancho Road. It's still unpaved. You need a little black key to open it. Mountains taller than your eyes can see. Off to the side of the cabin, there's a shop. Inside it, there's a little wood stove. A little AM radio, and a bunch of my father's old tools. On the work bench there's a bunch of old pickle jars with rusted nails and half packs of cigarettes. You're not allowed to have any of those, okay? Beyond the shop, there's a set of bunkbeds. Looking out at the river at the river and the old, brown ragged horses that we keep.
Tommie: I love horses!

Movie Summary
Lamb, based on the novel by Bonnie Nadzam, traces the self-discovery of David Lamb in the weeks following the disintegration of his marriage and the death of his father. Hoping to regain some faith in his own goodness, he turns his attention to Tommie, an awkward and unpopular eleven-year-old girl. Lamb is convinced that he can help her avoid a destiny of apathy and emptiness, and takes Tommie for a road trip from Chicago to the Rockies, planning to initiate her into the beauty of the mountain wilderness. The journey shakes them in ways neither expects.
