| Description |
It's December - families across the country are preparing to go away for the annual summer break. Prospects of adventure and romance for the young - relaxation and recreation for the old. When the emotional storm within clashes with the electrical storm above, the holiday camps and all within are swept away. What remains - but restoration, resolution and acceptance. |
