It is the spring of 1956, and other than the haunting memories of autumn, there has been little to evoke the pains of their past lives. None, in fact, until one fateful call forces Toros to confront the looming shadows of his childhood. Assured of his magnificent triumph over his cruel father, he embarks on the most defining journey of his life, oblivious to the twists and turns that are about to unfold.
