The man she thought had loved her ‘showed his true colours’ as her condition had been identified. 

After returning to Australia, she is reunited with a past acquaintance Michael who had loved her since their high school days.

Their rekindled friendship turns more serious and they find themselves falling in love.

Take My Hand is the true story of writer and director John Raftopolous’ romantic relationship with an old acquaintance.
