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. "Heartwarming and hopeful...It delivers mightily, with hummable songs, charming performances, a big emotional payoff, and even some sociopolitical relevance in our troubled times." -NJ Arts
