Summary: When your grown-up kids don't want to leave home because they are used to the lifestyle you have provided for them, you just have to force reality upon them by kicking them out. But when your business empire collapses and you are forced into living with your offbeat offspring, you soon find that home is 'where the heart is'...

Dabney Coleman stars as demolition contractor Stewart McBain in director John Boorman's WHERE THE HEART IS, a Capra-esque fable that harkens back to the populist comedies of the 1930s. When an architectural conservation group legally thwarts McBain's plans to vaporise the ageing Dutch House apartments in Brooklyn, he's ridiculed for defending his actions in the media by the twentysomething layabout children who live off the fruits of his labour. Consequently the affluent businessmen decides to teach them a lesson by depositing them in the decrepit Dutch House with $750 each. Once there, Chloe (Suzy Amis), Jimmy (David Hewlett), and Daphne (Uma Thurman) decide to take on boarders to help with the expenses. Among them are Lionel (Crispin Glover), an aspiring clothing designer who pretends to be gay in order to be taken seriously, and Sheryl (Sheila Kelley), a young student who gives a demonstration of glossolalia (speaking in tongues), her area of study. Chloe, an artist who specialises in body-painting her friends against a backdrop of well-known masterpieces, decides to channel her talents into calendar art. However, while everything is going fine for his kids, McBain's business has gone down the drain, and he must now look to them for help.
