A beautifully acted, intensely felt story of a couple rekindling their first love five decades after they parted. Retired music teacher Andreas (Charles Tingwell), a widower with a grown daughter (Marta Dusseldorp), discovers quite by accident that his first love, Claire (Julia Blake), is living in a nearby town. He sends her a friendly letter, and when she responds favorably, suggests that they meet for lunch. To his delight, Andreas quickly realizes he loves Claire as much as he ever did — perhaps more, since his feelings are now colored by an intense awareness of life's fragility — and moreover, that she feels the same way. But Claire's situation is more...
