A sweeping romantic drama about two ideologically opposed lovers whose passion cannot overcome their fundamental differences, suffused with period melancholy and the weight of historical upheaval.

Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky, a politically active Jew, meets Hubbell Gardiner, a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet once again and, despite their obvious differences, attempt to make their love for each other work.
