The little girl who plays Eva is absolutely wonderful. She is expressive and precocious. S comes to live with an aunt and grandpa after her father dies. She is only six and has a striking imagination. The aunt, who never married or left the house, tries to make her be what she is not. The little girl's imaginary friends would, for most people, have been natural, especially when one considers the loss of her father.

The story plays out with a startling result.
