Movie Description
A 1940's romance about a young mother who pursues a dream of becoming a singer while her husband is serving in the military. The inevitable choice between loyalty to her husband and family, and desire for independence propels this nostalgic love story to a climatic ending.
Synopsis
When Daisy's husband is called to serve in WWII, the separation allows the mother of two to spread her wings. She does this by taking piano lessons and becoming the lead singer in a local band, travelling with them from town to town. But just when Daisy is enjoying the fruits of her independence, two crucial events occur. One is that the ensemble is offered a national radio contract; the other is that her husband suddenly returns home. Daisy must decide which is more important: her burgeoning career -- or her responsibilities as a wife and mother.
