Now, decades later, an unexpected encounter in New York brings Lenka and Josef back together. <\/em><\/p>\n From the comfort of life in Prague before the occupation to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the endurance of first love, the resilience of the human spirit and our capacity to remember.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Movies on the shelf – <\/strong>\u201cAnaconda\u201d starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, \u201cOne of Them Days\u201d starring Keke Palmer and Sza and \u201cSix Feet Under-The Complete Second Season\u201d starring Peter Krause (Nate), Michael C.
