Paula Tobias, a Holocaust survivor who has suffered the ultimate personal tragedy of losing her spouse and children during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Now re-married and living in America during the late 1960's with husband David, they build a new life together with sons Ben and Jake.

This brings up painful memories from the past for everyone involved, including Ben and Jake, who force their father to talk about the Holocaust.
