The events take place post-World War II. Because of difficult life circumstances, all three of them continue life without their fathers…or both parents. We witness how these young men begin to develop themselves, their callings and destinations, all the complexity of the world, and the importance of a complete family. FILMMAKER Q&A TO FOLLOW.
