In Seattle, in the cellar of the Panama Hotel, time seems to have stopped. Forty years have passed, but everything remains as it was then. Henry Lee only needs to see an open umbrella to find himself back in the early forties. In a war-torn America with latent racism, Henry meets Keiko, a young Japanese woman with whom he shares the experience of being different. Their friendship transforms into an impossible love, defying prejudices and the harsh laws of conflict. Forty years later, an umbrella holds the promise of the happiness they deserve. This is a story of hope and determination that explores the eternal force of love in one of the darkest times in the United States.
