Fragments of past and present collide in a haunting, lyrical epic.
Lyrical and complex, Jeremy Podeswa's adaptation of Anne Michael's beloved novel builds into a breathtaking mosaic as fragments of the past and present reveal the inner depths of a writer who can't let go of the ghosts that haunt him. Podeswa brings a lushly sensual approach to Michael's vivid imagery. Athos (international star Rade Sherbedgia) is directing an archaeological dig in Nazi-occupied Poland when he discovers a little boy hiding. After witnessing the massacre of members of his family, seven-year-old Jakob does not know the fate of his beloved sister Bella -- a mystery that will haunt him for the rest of his life. As Jakob grows into a man, he becomes progressively more consumed by his family's tragedy and his longing for Bella, coloring his relationships with a trio of accomplished and beautiful women. An unforgettable story. Courtesy of Samuel Goldwyn Films.
