Back Home is a 1989 British-American made-for-television drama film based on Michelle Magorian's novel of the same name.
[2] Virginia 'Rusty' Dickinson (Hayley Carr) left England during World War II, and comes back home in 1945.
She meets her mother, Peggy Dickinson (Hayley Mills), and her new five-year-old brother, Charlie.
As Rusty returns, her father, Roger Dickinson (Rupert Frazer), is still stationed as a soldier in Burma.
His old-fashioned behavior and nature make him unhappy with his modern self-sufficient wife, his Americanised daughter and especially Charlie's dislike of his "new" father.
