Two young sailors, Eric and Tom, and two Spanish senoritas, Pilar and Lola, find romance against the stunning backdrop of southern Spain.
After receiving a Dear John Letter, Eric is a failure without friends, except for Tom, his new running mate who insists on bringing Eric out of his shell as they arrive to their Navy ship, a submarine tender berthed at the Rota, Spain naval base with submarines tied up alongside for service and repairs. Finally, Eric agrees to go on a blind date with Pilar, a stunning local Latin beauty with enchanting Spanish eyes.
For Eric, the transformation is stunning. As a talented photographer’s mate, he literally falls head over heels for his newfound love and, Spain, as he takes to photographing everything southern Spain has to offer.
Eric eventually learns that his grandmother who raised him is dying of Alzheimer’s disease back in the States. Touching her best he can, he writes many heartfelt letters about his challenging courtship with Pilar as he follows his heart and searches for his future.
