PLOT : Under the wisteria trees, Alana and Jack are two lovers who vowed to love each other eternally, not only in this lifetime but the next. However, their world shatters when a tragic accident takes Jack’s life, leaving Alana alone and broken. Ten years after Jack’s death, Alana sees a 10 year old boy, Gustav Karoff a musical protégé, on the news. The boy bears an uncanny resemblance to Jack as a child. Consumed by a need to know the truth, Alana travels to Vienna to meet the boy, navigating suspicion, skepticism and her own sanity. What follows is the story of faith in the impossible and an unrelenting pursuit to uncover the truth about the boundaries of life, death and eternal love.
