Maggie and Charlie consider this an impossible task until they meet Matthias, a young boy who has also tragically lost his family. It is only through opening their hearts to love again that they all find their path to healing.—Anonymous

Artist Charlie takes his son Jason for pizza to celebrate his successful exhibition, but in the commotion during a traffic accident, he loses sight of the preteen, who is later found buried. Heartbroken, Charlie and his wife Maggie leave the city to run a shop and fish in the country where they grew up, trying to start a new life. Two years later, Charlie volunteers them to take in Matthias, who saw his mother burn a few years after his dad abandoned them. Maggie is hesitant, but the cute kid soon wins a place in their hearts. Still, when Charlie is ready to consider permanent fostering, Maggie objects. Charlie promises Matthias a stable home nevertheless.—KGF Vissers
