Editorial Review:Description:A profound love story about two outsiders, LEA is the tale of a beautiful Slovak girl from a rural area who reluctantly marries a German antiques restorer 30 years her senior. The relationship seems doomed, but gradually the two outsiders discover each other's inner core, because they share a painful past.
