- Synopsis
- Liza is still drowning in grief from losing the love of her life when she receives a visit from the most unlikely person—her husband, who she left for another woman five years ago. With no questions asked and no conditions, Anton invites her back to his and their two children’s lives.
  
  Liza hesitantly returns to her family. She feels out of place in what used to be her home. The guilt she carries around prevents her from making a real connection with her children. Their refusal to talk about the real reason that she left does not help improve their situation either.
  
  The length of Liza’s stay challenges the relationship of Anton with their children. Their eldest daughter, Karla, obviously resents Liza – especially when Liza finds out that Karla, too, is in love with another girl but can’t seem to come to terms with it.
  
  As the tension in the house rises, Liza contemplates leaving again and just let her family continue on with their lives without her. But Anton does not let Liza go. He knows how deep her pain is from losing Jen. He understands how much she needs to be surrounded by people who love her, whether she’s ready to be loved or not.
