A retrospective of the Sixties tucked inside a gentle love story unfolds on Ireland's Puffin Island. Paula is a free spirited, independent bohemian from Colorado. Tom is a straight-laced, pressed-suit Catholic conservative from Dublin. Is there a place on Earth the two can just be... and be together? Paula recounts her youth as a globetrotting vagabond following the 'Summer of Love.' After her chance encounter with a self-proclaimed hot-blooded Irishman, she and Tom wrestle with the choices faced by all young people who came of age during the turbulent Sixties. Tom vehemently defends his faith and family values; Paula extols liberal western practices. Their struggle to find common ground takes them to Valentia and Puffin Islands in Ireland and to Rome where they promise to reunite in Paris to chart a future together. But Providence intervenes. Four decades later when they attempt to reconnect, they find that in the high-tech 21st century world of Google, Facebook, and online social networks, sometimes a hand written note speaks louder than an e-mail. A nostalgic reminder for those who survived that era and a tantalizing taste for the rest, Puffin Island is an old-fashioned tale of intrigue and human hearts... oceans apart.
