Overview
A single photo taken one hot summer night forges an unforgettable bond for two star-crossed strangers in this decades-spanning story of fate, love, and ambition.
When Abraham Ford and Rebecca Garavano meet as teenagers in 1977 at a Grateful Dead concert, the connection between them is as instant as the flash of the Polaroid camera someone uses to snap a photo of them together.
Fifty years later, when a flea market owner stumbles across the Polaroid and posts it to social media, one hawk-eyed viewer recognizes the young man as “Ham” Ford, a world-renowned classical violinist. The fervent attention to his love life as onlookers speculate about the young woman in the photo forces the now-reclusive Ham to confront his tumultuous and complicated past with “Bee” Garavano. A past he’d rather keep hidden.
Told only in snapshots of the iconic concerts and performances Bee and Ham attend over fifty years—sometimes together, sometimes apart, but never far from each other’s hearts—their epic love story is a heart-wrenching exploration of the connective power of music and the sacrifices we make for those we love most.
