Based on the novel by Belva Plain, this epic miniseries spans generations from 1909 to 1959. The story begins in New York's Lower East Side with the arrival of Polish-Jewish immigrant Anna (Lesley Ann Warren). At first employed as a humble seamstress, Anna is whisked into a whole new world when she becomes the wife of the enterprising Joseph Friedman (Armand Assante), who eventually becomes a wealthy Westchester contractor. Even so, Anna's heart belongs to Paul Lerner (Ian McShane), the son of the prosperous Fifth Avenue family which employs her relatives. In 1918, Anna gives birth to Paul's daughter, allowing Joseph to believe that he is the father. The secret surrounding Anna's child will lead to a daunting and frequently heartbreaking chain of events, culminating decades later in the newly formed state of Israel, where Anna's grandson Eric hopes to "find himself" — and ends up finding more than he bargained for.
*Very few prints of EVERGREEN exist. After an extensive search we found what we believe to be the best surviving elements. We are pleased to make this available here on DVD. One should not expect state-of-the-art re-mastered quality - but it is a treasure for those who truly wish to see this wonderful and very moving epic mini-series.
