This journey begins in the year 2020, with a romantic surreal
dream and the waking of one sixty-six year-old widower Chris Vadia,
a retired professional musician, and his sullen celibate perspective
due to his wife dying fifteen years earlier. After establishing
the human surroundings of the time period, we flashback to 1970 and
we find how he meets the love of his life, while on a wild summer
vacation driving through California. A beach in Big Sur is
the dramatic background for the beginning of their impassioned romance.
Time then shifts through their college days, marriage, their struggling
and successes, parental deaths, their Carnegie Hall debut, and
then the crisis of having grown so far apart despite being with
each other constantly. Our unforgiving fate, the duality of technology,
the commonality of human emotion throughout history, ties into
a tale of human devotion that eventually brings understanding and
hope. |
