The Lost Family

In 1960s Manhattan, patrons flock to Masha's to savour the impeccable cuisine, and to admire its dashing owner and head chef, Peter Rashkin. But he does not care for the parade of women who come to the restaurant hoping to catch his eye.

Running Masha's consumes him, as does the terrible guilt of having survived the horrors of a Nazi death camp while his wife, Masha - the restaurant's namesake - and two young daughters perished.

Then exquisitely beautiful June Bouquet, an up-and-coming model, appears at the restaurant, piercing Peter's guard.

The two begin a passionate, whirlwind courtship. When June unexpectedly becomes pregnant, Peter proposes, believing that a new family with the woman he loves will allow him to let go of the atrocities of the past. But over the next twenty years, those memories will overshadow Peter, his new wife and their daughter, transforming them in heartbreaking and unexpected ways.
