After having a horrible nightmare, a little boy asks his father to tell him a bedtime story. And in the boy's dimly lit bedroom, the doting parent starts to recount a long, exciting tale: the story of how he met the love of his life and the boy's mother. As the loving father describes the events of his immersive story, making sure to include every tiny detail, a vivid universe unfolds; a world filled with wartime memories, divine intervention, perseverance, hope, and unconditional fatherly love.
