Hated by the child who was her own... and forbidden to say "I am your mother."

195696 min6.4 / 10

A wartime romance fractured by tragedy and mistaken identity, told through flashback as a separated couple confronts the consequences of a single devastating mistake.

In present-day U.S., Dr. Michael Parker, a prominent surgeon, unexpectedly runs into his German-born wife whom he thought was dead. Victor, an artist and his "dead" wife's now boyfriend, berates Dr. Parker for "killing" her. The bulk of the story flashes back to Austria during World War II as we learn how Dr. Parker met and married his wife, and the one mistake that may have cost him his family.
