After the war, Anna’s restaurant held her village together. She took in strays and sowed farms from war-torn fields. When the lumbering bear of a man, Bertram, wanders into town, she puts him to work chopping onions. He doesn’t shed a single tear. Instead, he offers his services to repay a debt to her late father. Meanwhile, Bertram, stripped of his ability to feel emotion, is not immune to Anna’s warmth. As forces converge around the village, a charming tale of curses, loss, and love simmers.
