It is September 5, 1969, and Gitel Bargman is about to attend a party to celebrate her 33rd birthday, although for her it is hardly cause for celebration. She is racked with guilt for simply being alive. Attractive, intelligent, and witty, Gitel is a successful violinist who lives in a Kuybyshev (USSR) apartment. To the outsider, she has everything. But Gitel hides a secret. She is a haunted woman: haunted not only by painful memories of the past, but also by the ghosts of her two sisters who died when she, by a mere quirk of fate, survived. And because she lives in the past, Gitel cannot embrace her future. To love, and to be loved in return, remains an impossible dream
