A bittersweet story of a romance that blossoms twenty years too late... In the mid-sixties Lee Stein accepts a year's scholarship in Germany. A whirlwind courtship with fellow American Richard Singer ends disasterously when a series of missed connections drives them apart. Twenty years later divorced Lee must go back to Germany - and back to her memories. As Lee looks back to that year, she has much to think about ... including a secret that has never been shared, and a promise left unfulfilled.
