"Beautiful 19-year-old German girl wants to meet an attractive gentleman". So said the ad, placed by an elder acquaintance, in a tropical South Florida newspaper in 1975. Two unlikely, free-spirited people allowed fate to lead them on a journey to explore each other and hitchhike through the United States, Germany, and along the Hippy Trail to Istanbul and Athens. They seek to overcome cultural and emotional differences while discovering who they will become. Will fateful chances lead to a secure and loving relationship, or will reality force them to remain individuals living separate lives thousands of miles apart? This two-year journey, filled with unexpected adventures and precarious sojourns, will either bond them as one or drive them apart. Time will tell as they follow rainbows to either prosperity or vanishing colors.
