Plot

In the isolated folds of the Scottish highlands, the compassionate Dr. William MacLure has dedicated his life to treating and caring for his rural patients. His world is however disrupted when he is beguiled into purchasing a magnificent Collie named Lassie, who, to his surprise, harbors a deep-seated fear of water. Given the labyrinth of streams and rivers that MacLure must traverse to reach his patients, this fear poses a significant challenge to his hope of gaining a valuable companion. Displaying remarkable patience and ingenuity, MacLure embarks on a journey to help Lassie overcome her aquaphobia. As he painstakingly teaches the dog to swim, there's an undercurrent of a much larger concern brewing in the backdrop. With the weight of years pressing down on him, MacLure is painfully aware of the need to safeguard the future of the glen by preparing a successor. As the story unfolds, an unforeseen accident forces Lassie to confront her fears, culminating in a gripping display of courage that goes beyond the call of duty. "Hills of Home" is a poignant tale of one man’s struggle against the ebb and flow of time and a dog’s journey of overcoming her deepest fear, woven together against the stunning backdrop of rural Scotland - a testament to friendship, courage, and the enduring spirit of a community.
