Mom has been carrying on conversations with Dad (who's buried in the family garden) this is a concern to Denver, who is also struggling with his own domestic situation back in the city - so, following various involved reminiscences, the families past dramas are relived and the two agree to come to an agreement about the future. Here, he's been booked to sing in his home town and has come to visit his Mom, his father has been dead several years and he's hoping to convince mother to sell up and move into a care facility in the city - allowing the family to visit often. I've always regarded Denver as a convincing performer and comfortable with comedy and drama (in fact one of the better singers to transfer into acting).
Denver is the son who left the mountain home of his youth following several disagreements with his father and settled in the city - now married with two children, he's just begun to build popularity as a singer/songwriter.
The writing by one of the stars is both powerful and observant - Hume Cronyn as writer/star, gives a strong performance as the feisty husband of Jessica Tandy (his real life wife) and father to John Denver's character, Dillard Nations. Had not heard of this Award winning movie before but was given a DVD and found it a very interesting surprise.
