A Catholic man and a Protestant woman are in love. But then they have to separate. Their ecumenical love is torn apart by a rift that runs right through a small town. That was in the 1950s. Sixty years later, they find each other again by chance. And they marry – a Protestant pastor and a Catholic priest. A story of rediscovered first love.
