A heart torn between two loves...
1939, Vilnius. Anka, a young Jewish girl, is forced to leave Vilnius after Jewish shops are broken into and looted. Sensing the impending danger, her father sends her to Pre-State Israel to submit the immigration request to the British authorities on behalf of the family. She leaves behind her beloved fiancé, Zalman, who promises to wait for her return.

In Israel, Anka reunites with Abrasha, her admired counselor from the Socialist Zionist youth movement in Vilnius who had left earlier to join the Kibbutz and become a Zionist.

When WWII erupts, the Holocaust ravages Europe and Anka loses contact with her beloved. After losing hope of ever seeing Zalman or her family again, she warms up to her kind friend Abrasha, marries him, and starts a new life.

But... did Zalman actually die?

60 years later, their daughter must vacate their home for sale. She discovers hidden letters in her mother's closet that reveal a shocking truth about Anka.
