Co-starring Sebastian Spence, Gig Morton, Burkely Duffield and Everick Golding, the movie will have its world television premiere on UP in 2014.

The film casts Thompson as a widow of five years who has thrown herself into running her bistro and caring for her 15-year old daughter.

"Mother-daughter relationships are one of the greatest in the world," Barbara Fisher, senior vice president of original programming for UP, said in a statement Friday. "This special film explores how this loving, funny, sometime aggravating, unbreakable bond provides the key to a mother and daughter both moving forward and discovering love in their lives again."
