“Language of the Heart”
How would you feel, if you knock on the door of the house of the girl you should have married twenty-five years ago and she answers the door and looks the same as she did all those years ago?

“Five Days Left”
Time is 1968 and a soldier ends his last love letter to his wife with an old Cajun saying, “If I have only five days to live, I’d give up three to spend the two with you. With us, Babe, It should be – If I have only five days to live, I’d give up four to spend one with you.” And the soldier does just that.

“The Stuff of Dreams”
World War II veteran Sergeant Leo Minosa has come from Wyoming to New Orleans to meet the woman whose image he painted on his B-24 bomber – Louisiana Lullaby.
