After a year apart, Naira and Jarek decide to move to London together, the city in which they met during their Erasmus exchange. The problem is that Jarek’s career as a pianist is taking off in the Czech Republic just as they should be leaving, and he’s forced to postpone the journey. But Naira decides to install herself in England anyway and begin a new life while she waits for him. Without any other company apart from her memories of the past with Jarek, Naira will have to confront the grey and murky city alone. To find a flat, get work, make new friends…...And, just as importantly, to see whether distance is an obstacle to love.
