With Bryan Burton, Robert S. Gregory, Caralyn Kozlowski, and Tracy Sallows
Nineteen-year-old Robi is eager to escape the oppression of Communist Romania to forge a new life in the west. The unexpected return of his mother's estranged fiance after a 20 year absence, may hold a key to his freedom. However, when his mother reveals that Robi's father was not killed in action as he'd believed, but is either a Jewish teacher his mother hid during the war or the Hungarian soldier who persecuted him, Robi must decide whether to embrace his ancestry or run from it.
