Marco is on vacation in a countryside bed and breakfast with a couple of friends. One day an old woman, Rosa, pushes him out of the way of a speeding car and she gets knocked over. She remains in a coma while Marco feels guilty to be a survivor. The old woman's granddaughter Lianne is distraught but warms up romantically to Marco. Rosa's daughter--Lianne's mother--at the beginning is angry that her mother insisted on coming to this area but she too realizes the accident is not Marco's fault.
At the bed and breakfast Marco tries to make a phone call on an old telephone, and somehow he is connected to a woman living in 1957--Divinna. Her father owned the plantation business the bed and breakfast sits on, which in her time was her family's home. Divinna's father has promised her in marriage to the landownder to pay off debts, but the fiance is a selfish brute. Divinna and Marco talk to each other about their mutual concerns, at first not realizing they are in different times. Soon Marco figures things out and makes Divinna promise to meet him in 2006.
