Juno is furious with her mother for leaving her with her grandfather during the holidays as she goes to help people they don’t know, far away.
Grandpa’s house is deep in the countryside, there’s no-one to play with, nothing to do, until Juno finds an old dolls’ house in the attic, complete with its forlorn little family. Soon, with Grandpa’s help, she is making them a new house, and with her mum’s parting words in her head, working to make it a home too. This small holiday pastime helps Juno understand the true meaning of home and it bring her closer to her mum too.
