In the months leading up to World War I, a young Austrian officer from an aristocratic family, falls deeply in love with a beautiful young woman from Serbia. It is a match fraught with political peril due to mounting hostilities between the two countries. Can their love survive the indignities of two world wars, prison camps, family tragedies and the separation of an iron curtain? The answer is yes, but not in the manner one might think. Relive the sagas of two families separated by an ocean whose roots trace back to that star-crossed love affair, and relive a century of history from two highly unusual perspectives.
