A young woman envisions her unseen bridegroom and prepares for a wedding that exists only in her dreams. An old man revisits a fleeting, mystical encounter with a forest spirit. The passing of a comrade draws a couple back to their days in the revolutionary movement. In two parallel tales, Bani and Liam struggle against fate to preserve their bond, while Aunty Nima and Uncle Ben embody a love that endures through time itself.
