Cold Sunflowers

1972: Seventeen-year-old Raymond Mann is a painfully shy teenager who’s fearful of life and spends too much time in his room. One day he meets seventy-something-year-old Ernest Gardiner, who’s tired of living and misses the days when honor and chivalry meant something. This unlikely pair discover a shared love of sunflowers and stars through which they help one another learn to love the world. Earnest recalls his experiences of 1917 when he was a photographer in the French trenches; Mira, his first love and his friend Bill, a tough, battle-hardened soldier who saved his life. But all is not what it seems as there is one more secret that will change Raymond’s life forever.
