Willow ultimately decides to leave her pampered life in Malibu to travel to the Sierra Nevada mountains, where she pays a surprise visit to Jack (Ricky Schroder), a rugged cowboy who has no idea he’s a father. She persuades her mother, Katie (Angela Lindvall), to finally talk about and reveal who her father is. ‘Our Wild Hearts’ follows Willow (Cambrie Schroder), a determined young teenager who’s obsessed with the idea of meeting the father she never knew.

The film also chronicles the struggles between a newfound father and daughter in its story, as it focuses on the obstacles they must overcome to truly learn about, and connect with, each other.

Learning how to bond with family, even when you have preconceived notions of who they really are, is a lesson embedded in both the story and filming of the family western drama ‘Our Wild Hearts.’ The filming of the movie was a family affair, as it was directed and produced by Ricky Schroder, who also starred in the movie with his children Cambrie, Holden and Luke and co-wrote the script with his wife, Andrea.
