A long history has surprisingly connected and separated Neil and Grace. Having met again, they became convinced that they were unbearably drawn to each other. But, oddly enough, he does not intend to offer her anything other than a mutually pleasant pastime, and she does not want to have an intimate relationship with him. Their motives are plausible and rooted in childhood, in the family troubles of past years... How important it is sometimes, without withdrawing into oneself, to find out the circumstances and meaning of even painful events, to listen to someone and, if possible, to understand and forgive. And then love will take its toll...
