   Stories and legends of long and arduous journeys of our émigrées, and their difficult life in faraway lands, are being told and retold for over a hundred years. In one of these tales, inspired by true events, Jakov, a young man from Dalmatia in 1910, went on a long journey to America. He promises to return, and writes to his mother Ana, and his girlfriend, Maria. Despite a strong desire to return, the story doesn’t end happily.
