Plots(1)
While designing a family-tree Web site, San Franciscan Martin (Rudolf Martin) innocently asks questions that force his parents (Sally Kirkland, Max Gail) to reveal a big secret: His real mother abandoned him and his dad and returned to her native Iron Curtain country. Stunned, Martin tracks her down via telephone, then flies over for a reunion. But upon arriving he's told she just died - from Parkinson's disease or suicide, depending on who tells the story. Cousin Vlado (Roman Luknar) seems keen on diverting Martin from nosing around; unease isn't helped by the attraction between Martin and Vlado's singer wife Andrea (Monica Hilmerova). Underpopulated pic lacks atmosphere, pacing and, finally, purpose. Soft, pixilated transfer makes original visual contribs impossible to evaluate. (official distributor synopsis)
