Postcard for A Standing Date

Synopsis:

Oscar and Holly meet each other in the standing section of an outdoor concert at the Oscar D’Asti winery. They couldn’t be more different from each other. He’s the grandson of Oscar D’Asti and lives in the shadow of that generation. She’s a no-nonsense, determined woman who recently put herself through school. But there is something about Holly that reminds Oscar of his deceased mother whose support he deeply misses.
