What happens

Every Time We Say Goodbye is a 1986 American drama film starring Tom Hanks and Cristina Marsillach. Hanks plays a gentile American in the Royal Air Force, stationed in mandatory Jerusalem, who falls in love with a girl from a Sephardic Jewish family. The film has the unusual distinction of being partly in the Ladino language. With young lovers of very different backgrounds with religious and cultural differences, the film is an account of a forbidden love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
