Eva, a widow and retired history teacher, enjoys a quiet life. Everything changes when she receives a life insurance check accidentally made out for $5,000,000 instead of $50,000. Eva deposits the money and, along with her best friend Maddie, heads to the Canary Islands to live it up. But their fantasy is short-lived when they discover that they have become media sensations overnight.

An emotional detective story spread over two continents and a half-century. Beneath the film's stunning and pulsing musical revelations burn the horror of war, and the lost souls extinguished from history.
