“Everything seemed so important then... even love!”

DramaRomance

Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky, a politically active Jew, meets Hubbell Gardiner, a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet once again and, despite their obvious differences, attempt to make their love for each other work.

VIBE

A sweeping, bittersweet romance that captures the ache of love lost to differing ideals. It feels like a poignant, nostalgic look back at a passionate but ultimately doomed relationship, set against a turbulent historical backdrop.
