P.S. Today is Franklin Delano Roosevelt's birthday! Roosevelt was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945. He dominated his party after 1932 as a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, and directed the United States government during an era of worldwide economic depression and total war.

"The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart."

An encounter between a rising star, Eunice, and an aspiring songwriter, Jesse, at a fateful Getai performance develops into something more. Eunice takes an interest in Jesse’s talent and offers him a job writing songs for her. Their relationship soon develops. However, when a crime lord threatens to destroy Eunice's livelihood, she'll do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means tearing her relationship with Jesse apart. Will our Eunice and Jesse find their happy ending?
