A world premiere
A surprisingly funny and wildly imaginative story of love, grief and the difficulty of letting go. Two years after a fireman died trying to save a baby from a burning home, his widow is clinging to the past—literally. When a handsome wooer arrives on the scene, the widow must decide between the past she knows and the future she can only imagine.
