This is a vivid portrait of 3 generations in a family separated by loneliness, hope, and betrayal. Esther the Whit is the cold matriarch who fled a cruel life in Russia only to rule lovelessly over her own family.
Phillip is the son she cannot understand, a man with an overwhelming desire to drown himself in the ocean's inviting waters every summer.
Phillips's daughter is barely 18 and desperate to escape the confines of her grandmother's harsh criticism.
