The 1940s were a time of extraordinary heroism, shattered lives, dashed hopes, long periods of absence, never-ending days and nights of worry, unfulfilled dreams, chance encounters, unexpected bonds between strangers, unanswered questions, and times of self-doubt and emptiness.
Lou and Ian were just two of the young people who met, fell in love, and tried to sustain that intimate link over an ocean of distance and an endless stretch of time. This is the story of their meeting, their separation, and their struggles to live in the moment and not to surrender to despair and loneliness.
