Synopsis: Our Town portrays a picture of a town at the turn of the 20th century. A picture of the common things, the moments that fill everyday lives, the rights of passage we all face, the things and words and habits that we pass one hand to another, day to day, generation to generation, century to century. A picture of that which we may touch everyday, but may never see.
