A woman has nursed a terrible secret for a quarter century. She has suffered a loss so painful and devastating that her will to live and believe in others is waning. The light of hope flickers dimly. Into her life come two new neighbors. A single divorced father and his teenage son. They have also known sadness, yet still manage to cling to the belief of goodness in the world. From this fragile friendship unfolds an inspiring life-affirming story. After 25 years a desperate effort to reclaim the past is mounted from America to the old country. And with it go the hopes of three generations to find happiness.
