In 1933, Charlie, a Polish-born Jew, returns to Rovno after ten years in America seeking a bride. He meets Chava, a determined young woman who dreams of becoming a scholar. As he courts her with charm and persistence, she remains focused on her future amid rising antisemitism. This true story is a warm and moving tale of connection, hope, and resilience in uncertain times.
