The Picture Box, production notes state, "is a warm, unique and loving story. From the deep south to the northeast, a young black man comes to work at the home of a white family on New York’s Long Island. This young man becomes the 'caretaker' of the little girl who lives in the home. She has been emotionally abandoned by her mother through her mother’s second marriage. The trust of this estranged child creates a bond with her caretaker that spans a lifetime. Love and caring comes in all forms."
