Reunion
Sam Bluefarb
Reunion tells the story of two people whose lives have been impacted by the Second World War and the immediate post-war years that follow, when old mores were dying and a new set of attitudes was beginning to be born. An obsessive and tragic love unfolds in the fall of 1948 when a World War II veteran attending UCLA on the G.I. bill falls in love with an enigmatic exchange student from India.
