Synopsis:
In 1971 Jana Pavlova and Mirek Sling were prominent Czech artists and very much in love. In a bid to escape the politics of their country, they planned to flee for Canada and a new life. But something went terribly wrong. Though Jana made it, Mirek was arrested. Now, twenty years later, Jana must confront her past. Having long ago renounced her art and life in the former Czechoslovakia, Jana lives comfortably with her Canadian husband and two children, running a fishing marina. and she has until now, been successfully hiding her past from everyone - even her family. But how can she contune this when her past walks right up to the door of her marina wanting to come in? Mirek Sling's unexpected appearance throws everyone into crisis. and as Jana's past and present collide, she is forced into a high-stakes game that will change her life forever.
