A Long Way Home plot
At a young age, three children from a family are adopted by different foster families. When the eldest, Donald (Timothy Hutton), is almost eighteen, he sets out to find his younger brother and sister. He enlists the help of social worker Lilian (Brenda Vaccaro) for this. The search almost becomes an obsession for Donald, and his girlfriend Rose (Rosanna Arquette) grieves that he apparently cares more for his brother and sister than for her.

Hutton plays a more than good role here as the eldest of 3 children who have been abandoned by their parents.
He is more or less forced to take on the parental role and when child protection services intervene not long after, the three are separated after a short time because probably no foster family would want to adopt three children together.
When Donald (Hutton) finally turns 18, his long search for his younger brother and sister begins, but the other foster parents thwart him, it becomes a long search of more than 5 years.
