AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'From Saigon to Sydney, from Fremantle to the Blue Mountains. Three intensely emotional relationships begin to crumble in the present, under pressures from the secrets of the past. This is a modern love story - a compelling journey that peels away the superficial present to reveal the history that lingers at the core of who we are, and proves that we are the sum of all who love us. Even if we can never know the Full Story.'
