Every life has a story; a story with many "ifs" and many "buts." The story of Cynthia's life also has many ifs and buts. Cynthia's life is a puzzle of relationships, with the central piece missing: her relationship with herself. From the 1950's in South Africa, to the 1980's in Israel, Cynthia searches for her own story. She observes human strength and human frailty; misplaced ideals and life's sometimes cruel coincidences.
