When her husband died, part of Getta died with him. She expected nothing more from life, bad or good. Then, a new man asked her out, and she discovered that life, still happen after 50. She found a million reasons not to go. They are the same age but a woman at 50 is an old woman. A man at 50 is still young, she thought. He can have any woman he wants. She expressed her concerns talking in Romanian on the phone in front of him, and he surprised her by laughing. You"re not supposed to understand my language. He explained that they are both Latin, and knocking gently on her forehead, he concluded, "empty coconut."Everything went well between them when Getta gets wind that her daughter she left behind is seriously ill. A long time ago, torn between the love for her teenage daughter who didn"t want to emigrate with her and her passion for the man in her life, Getta followed him and immigrated to America. In spite of regular contact, time and distance turned Getta and her daughter into complete strangers. Perfectly happy living in Los Angeles, Getta in a now-or-never decision takes off for Romania, to fight for her daughter"s life and, if possible, regain her love.
