A gripping family saga of longing and passion begins one ill-fated summer day and spans three generations trying to deal with the loss of a beloved young wife and mother. Encompassing sorrow, joy, passion, pain, humor, and a plenitude of wonderful characters in a lush country setting, this is a film about the remarkable capability humans have to somehow find a light to lead us out of the depths of sorrow.
