Based on the runaway European bestseller by Margaret Mazzantini, TWICE BORN begins as the Italian professor Gemma heads off on a summer vacation to the battle-scarred city of Sarajevo with her discontented teenaged son Pietro. She longs to show him the country where she fell passionately in love with his father, Diego - but she is about to discover a long-hidden secret, one that will reveal far more to their knotted past than even her haunted memories can disclose.
